It's up to you now, and we shall help you — that my past does not become your future. - Elie Wiesel

Close your eyes and listen. Listen to the silent screams of terrified mothers, the prayers of anguished old men and women. Listen to the tears of children. Jewish children, a beautiful little girl among them, with golden hair, whose vulnerable tenderness has never left me. Look and listen as they walk towards dark flames so gigantic that the planet itself seemed in danger.

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.
