SAN FRANCISCO, July 8 (UPI) -- Elie Wiesel testified in court Tuesday that the man who allegedly attacked him in a San Francisco hotel wanted him to say that he lied about the Holocaust.
Wiesel, 79, a Holocaust survivor, in his second day on the witness stand, said he only learned of Eric Hunt's motive weeks after the alleged assault last year, KTVU-TV reported. Wiesel said he learned what the young New Jersey man was after from a document Hunt posted on line.
