...Bosnian government sat down with its domestic foes and their godfathers, Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic and Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, for another round of peace talks. Everyone felt the mood of deja vu, but this time the Muslims had to choose between taking what little they might get in a settlement now, or holding out for more -- and losing everything.

There were discordant notes as well. In Washington Wiesel and others were outraged at the presence of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, who had claimed in a 1988 book that the number of Holocaust deaths is widely exaggerated. Most shockingly, one in five American adults (see the chart) said in a survey they were unconvinced that the Holocaust had ever occurred...
