When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
Elie Wiesel

As you know, I describe Shirat ha-Yam as part of an epic story that has qualities of history and which also has qualities of the mythological, of an epic.
Elie Wiesel
Image
I thought that culture and education are the shield. An educated person cannot do certain things and, and be educated, you cannot, and there they were, killing children day after day.
Elie Wiesel
Image
The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret.
