"Yisgadal, veyiskadash, shmey raba...May His name be celebrated and sanctified..." whispered my father.

Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.
