Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel

We are all brothers and we are all suffering the same fate. The same smoke floats over all our heads. Help one another. It is the only way to survive. (pg. 39)

Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.

A destruction only man can provoke, only man can prevent. Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures, it is our gift to each other.

For in the end, it is all about memory, its sources and its magnitude, and, of course, its consequences. - Elie Wiesel
