In Support of Sanity

"Let us tell tales - all the rest can wait, all the rest must wait.

Let us tell tales - that is our primary obligation.

Commentaries will have to come later,
lest they replace or becloud what they meant to reveal.

Let us tell tales so as to rememember how vulnerable man is
when faced with overwhelming evil.

Let us tell tales so as not to allow the executioner to have the last word.

The last word belongs to the victim.

It is up to the witness to capture it, shape it, transmit it..."

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor, author, Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
