Humanity would never tolerate it
Elie Wiesel

Yet another last night. The last night at home, the last night in the ghetto, the last night in the train, and, now, the last night in Buna. How much longer were our lives to be dragged out from one 'last night' to another?

I wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So that you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don't attach any importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me.

I am looking for the word which is there and shouldn't be there. I wonder, why is it there? Or I look for problems: the Akedah [the Binding of Isaac - Genesis 22]. It still baffles me.

Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.

What would the future of man be if it were devoid of memory?
Elie Wiesel
Image
I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.

Whatever you think in life... think higher and feel deeper.

A man who is fighting for the future of mankind is not waiting for torture, he's waiting for -- the Revolution.

Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.

First we must understand that there can be no life without risk - and when our center is strong, everything else is secondary, even the risks.

Whether every story that's there [in the Bible] is a historic truth ... Again, I'm not concerned.

Only fanatics — in religion as well as in politics — can find a meaning in someone else’s death.

When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
