Biografía de Elie Wiesel

Con la intención de contribuir a evitar que en el mundo se vuelva a repetir una situación de barbarie como la producida bajo el nazismo en los campos de concentración, Elie Wiesel se dedicó con fervor a practicar el ejercicio de la memoria, como reafirmación de la vida.

“Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.”

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.” #ElieWiesel

This is a nice, clear look at the "school district bans Elie Wiesel quote" story. Spoiler: the school district does not come out looking good at all.

From Elie Wiesel’s Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech

We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered ... Wherever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must ... become the center of the universe

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe.”

Interesting light on my houseplants this morning. Also appears that my grandmother’s portrait bust of Nobel Laureate and Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel is admiring it too. #ElieWiesel #PlantLight.
