    Elie Wiesel
    “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”
    Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident

    “Then came the march past the victims. The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light, was still breathing...
    And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes.
    And we were forced to look at him at close range. He was still alive when I passed him. His tongue was still red, his eyes not yet extinguished.

    Behind me, I heard the same man asking:
    "For God's sake, where is God?"
    And from within me, I heard a voice answer:
    "Where He is? This is where--hanging here from this gallows..."

    That night, the soup tasted of corpses.”
    Elie Wiesel, Night

    Elie Wiesel
    “For the survivor who chooses to testify, it is clear: his duty is to bear witness for the dead and for the living. He has no right to deprive future generations of a past that belongs to our collective memory. To forget would be not only dangerous but offensive; to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.”
    Elie Wiesel, Night
