" "An SS came toward us wielding a club. He commanded:
"Men to the left! Women to the right!"

Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel
And then I explained to him how naive we were, that the world did know and remained silent. And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
