Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel, gave this impassioned speech in the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the summer of 1944, as a teenager in Hungary, Elie Wiesel, along with his father, mother and sisters, were deported by the Nazis to Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Upon arrival there, Wiesel and his father were selected by SS Dr. Josef Mengele for slave labor and wound up at the nearby Buna rubber factory. Daily life included starvation rations of soup and bread, brutal discipline, and a constant struggle against overwhelming despair. At one point, young Wiesel received 25 lashes of the whip for a minor infraction. In January 1945, as the Russian Army drew near, Wiesel and his father were hurriedly evacuated from Auschwitz by a forced march to Gleiwitz and then via an open train car to Buchenwald in Germany, where his father, mother, and a younger sister eventually died. Wiesel was liberated by American troops in April 1945. After the war, he moved to Paris and became a journalist then later settled in New York. Since 1976, he has been Andrew Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University. He has received numerous awards and honors including the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He was also the Founding Chair of the United States Holocaust Memorial. Wiesel has written over 40 books including Night, a harrowing chronicle of his Holocaust experience, first published in 1960. At the White House lecture, Wiesel was introduced by Hillary Clinton who stated, "It was more than a year ago that I asked Elie if he would be willing to participate in these Millennium Lectures...I never could have imagined that when the time finally came for him to stand in this spot and to reflect on the past century and the future to come, that we would be seeing children in Kosovo crowded into trains, separated from families, separated from their homes, robbed of their childhoods, their memories, their humanity.
The was extracted from The Great Gatsby a Novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Nick and Gatsby saw Mr. Wolfshiem
Mr. Wolfshiem decided to leave Nick and Gatsby alone to talk after he (Mr. Wolfshiem) finished his lunch.
Though, Gatsby told him not to be in haste (to leave), Mr. Wolfshiem declined.
What Mr. Wolfshiem meant by being "from a different generation" is that, he was much older that Nick and Gatsby (he later on stated this, when he said he was 50 years old)
Mr. Wolfshiem appreciated that he was invited to lunch and he also made it known that he didn't really care to impose on Gatsby's chat with Nick about their discussion

Looking at the information in “Are ‘Green’ Cars Really All That Green?,” we can deduce that the author's reasoning isn't sound as he doesn't see driving green cars to help save the planet.
<h3>What is green car?</h3>
Green car or green vehicle is known as an eco-friendly vehicle that is seen as less harmful to the environment as it doesn't use conventional internal combustion engine that produces gases that are unhealthy to the environment. Green cars use alternative fuels that are friendly to the environment.
We see that the author was actually not satisfied with the issue of green cars saving the planet.
