Who is the Nobel Prize winner that was a Holocaust survivor? He said “
Never shall I forget that night, the first night in the camp, which has turned
my life into one long night… Never shall I forget the little faces of the
children, whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent
blue sky. Never shall I forget those flames which consumed my faith
forever. Never shall I forget that nocturnal silence which deprived me, for all
eternity, of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments which
murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I
forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself.
Never”.
