For us it's not easy to be conformist, I cannot stand to be conformist, I don't accept what it is, I like to say no. If I see an injustice I scream.
Elie WieselEducation in the key to preventing the cycle of violence and hatred that marred the 20th century from repeating itself in the 21st century.
Elie WieselI try to see their moral relevance [in the Bible] and, of course, to admire the literary beauty of the text. Prophetic poetry: No one has written the way Isaiah does.
Elie WieselI make a difference between genocide and Holocaust. Holocaust was mainly Jewish, that was the only people, to the last Jew, sentenced to die for one reason, for being Jewish, that's all.

It's the intent of killing, the intent of killing people, a community in this culture so forth, but no other people has been really interested.
