Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel

The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the crematoria...

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.
