BOB ABERNETHY, anchor: Finally, last weekend, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, in Washington, celebrated its 10th anniversary with a tribute to survivors of the Nazi persecution of the Jews -- to survivors, their families, and to those who rescued them at the end of World War II.

Nearly 7,000 people came, probably the last gathering of this size of the survivors, among them Nobel laureate and advocate of Holocaust remembrance, Elie Wiesel.

ELIE WIESEL (Founding Chairman, United States Holocaust Memorial Council and Nobel Laureate): Surrounded by your children and grandchildren, my dear fellow survivors, do you feel joy in your hearts? Of course you do, but it is not void of sadness. It cannot be.

UNIDENTIFIED SURVIVOR: My father kept insisting and crying, begging me, just before they took them away, that I should go and hide because I have a chance to survive. And here I am.

MUSEUM PERSONNEL: There you are. See, look.

UNIDENTIFIED SURVIVOR (Photo Is Currently on Exhibit in the Museum): Oh my gosh.

MUSEUM PERSONNEL: There you are. Same smile.
