I believe a human being - if he or she wants to remain human, then he or she must do something with what we have seen, endured, witnessed.

Elie WieselI wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So that you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don't attach any importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me.
