The world lost a giant today. His work aside, Mr. Wiesel was an advocate for peace that we could all learn valuable lessons from.
From his book Night, which was about his stay in a concentration camp:
"Never shall I forget that night that first night in camp that turned my life into one long night. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.Those moments that murdered my god and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never."
Pretty powerful stuff.
