As you move back in time, oddly enough, the story becomes more historical.
Elie Wiesel
It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town.
Elie Wiesel
Humanity would never tolerate it
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.
Elie Wiesel
