Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel

To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice

We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.

No one was praying for the night to pass quickly. The stars were but sparks of the immense conflagration that was consuming us. Were this conflagration to be extinguished one day, nothing would be left in the sky but extinct stars and unseeing eyes.
