Elie Wiesel Quotes About Survivor

Quotes about: Survivor

• Just as there are predatory birds, so there are predatory ideas: I came under their spell. . . .Just as the survivors say that no one will ever understand the victims, what I must tell you is that you will never understand the executioners.
