"I swear never to be silent whenever and wherever human lives
endure suffering and humiliation," Wiesel said.
 
"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.
When human dignity is is jeopardy, that place, at that moment,
must become the center of the universe."
 
Elie Wiesel, survived the  Holocaust to become a global activist, orator and Nobel Prize-winning advocate for peace.
