Existing punishments just aren't good enough.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel thinks something new, something creative should be devised to punish Bernie Madoff - who wiped out $15.2 million from the Holocaust survivor's charitable foundation.

"Whatever [there] is to hurt him should be invented," the 80-year-old novelist and political activist said, blasting the mega-swindler as a "psychopath" at a Manhattan panel discussion yesterday.

"He should go before a group of judges who would imagine a punishment for him," Wiesel said of Madoff, who has admitted ripping off more than 4,000 investors with his $50 billion Ponzi scheme.

Here's Wiesel's suggestion:

"He should be put in a solitary cell with a screen, and on the screen, for at least five years of his life, [would be] pictures of his victims."

That way, Madoff would continually be reminded, "Look what you have done to this old lady. Look what you have done to this child."

Wiesel tore into the former Nasdaq chief at an event called "Madoff and the Meltdown," at Manhattan's '21' Club.

FRAUDE GÉANTE | La Fondation du Prix Nobel a tout perdu dans ce jeu de l’avion. L’héritière de L’Oréal avait confié une partie de sa fortune au financier Thierry de la Villehuchet, qui vient de se suicider. La liste des victimes est loin d’être close.

«Nous vous écrivons pour vous informer que la Fondation Elie Wiesel pour l’humanité avait 15,2 millions de dollars en gestion dans la société d’investissement de Bernard Madoff. Cela représente la quasi-totalité des avoirs de la Fondation.» Tel est l’aveu que l’on pouvait lire, hier, sur le site internet de l’organisation de lutte contre l’antisémitisme, fondée en 1986 par le Prix Nobel de la Paix.
