Elie Wiesel survived the Nazi Auschwitz and Buchenwald extermination camps. He died on July 2nd, 87 years old
“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,” Mr. Wiesel wrote. “Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall
I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies I saw turned
into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Never shall I forget
those flames which consumed my faith forever. Never shall I forget the
nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all eternity, of the desire to
live. 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.”
Elie Wiesel documented the horrors perpetrated by the Nazi demagogues in many books. Could we have prevented those horrors? Were we spectators to them?
Could our tribal fears once again be ignited and turned into active hatred and bigotry by a modern demagogue?
