Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel
"Yisgadal, veyiskadash, shmey raba...May His name be celebrated and sanctified..." whispered my father.

1. "Don't be deluded. Hitler has made it clear that he will annihilate all Jews before the clock strikes twelve."
I exploded:
"What do you care what he said? Would you want us to consider him a prophet?"
His cold eyes stared at me. At last, he said wearily:
"I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, all his promises, to the Jewish people."
