Why were there so few? Was it that perilous to oppose evil? Was it really impossible to help? Was it really impossible to resist organized, systemitized, legalized cruelty and murder by showing concern for the victims, for one victim? Let us remember: What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) Romanian-American novelist, professor, political activist, Nobel Laureate.
Forward to Carol Rittner & Sandra Meyers, Courage To Care — Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust (1986)More info about this quote: wist.info/wiesel-elie/79927/

Never have these words been more relevant!
- Indifference is the symbol of evil. We must take a stand. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.- Elie Wiesel, author, Holocaust survivor, Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor” – Desmond Tutu
“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented” – Elie Wiesel
“Washing one’s hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral ” – Paulo Freire
“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict…[an individual] who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it” – Martin Luther King Jr.

#ElieWiesel, écrivain et #survivant de la #Shoah, #prix #Nobel de la #paix 1986 :
" J'ai juré de #ne #jamais #me #taire quand des êtres humains endurent la #souffrance et l'#humiliation, où que ce soit .
Nous devons toujours prendre parti.
La #neutralité aide toujours l' #oppresseur , jamais la #victime .
Le #silence encourage le #persécuteur jamais le #persécuté" -

In practice, the ethical stance often depends on the context & the stakes involved. Remaining neutral or silent in the face of injustice allows oppressive systems to persist. Injustice thrives on inaction. Silence signals complicity.
But you can also argue that there are situations where neutrality might be necessary or strategic, such as voiding escalation & preserving peace.
In certain situations it may enable mediation or diplomacy. -

Apropos the #PressIsComplicit fracas over the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post suddenly deciding that endorsing candidates goes beyond the purview of EDITORIAL BOARDS (whose entire schtick is to have oppinions), we should all perhaps rememeber:

"To learn means to accept the postulate that life did not begin at my birth. Others have been here before me, and I walk in their footsteps. The books I have read were composed by generations of fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, teachers and disciples. I am the sum total of their experiences, their quests. And so are you." — Elie Wiesel — — — #ElieWiesel #quote #quotes #learn #ancestors #legacy #education #past #books #experiences#

Wiesel spent last week listening to #Uyghur Muslim survivors of Chinese repression and was horrified by the stories. From forced sterilization to physical intimidation to murder, Wiesel says the Chinese government is responsible for these horrific acts, and the #ElieWiesel Foundation wants to get these stories out. He said the move is similar to the works of his father, who often tried to draw attention to genocide and repression in #Rwanda and the former Soviet Union.

#ElieWiesel says he doesn't approve of Palestine's methods cos violence is never the answer. Israel will cooperate, his words. How he'd be surprised to learn of Israel today, of the way it behaves, less than one century later, in a similar fashion as Nazi Germany? I didn't like his book. Its bite sized bits of text annoy me. His prose is horrendous, his testimony nothing I haven't read before, his faith in god irritating. But it's about the #Holocaust, you have to like it! Why? #night #books

When a person doesn’t have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude. - (Elie Wiesel)
Are we defined by our attitude toward gratitude? Elie Wiesel believed so. Share a moment when gratitude made a difference in your life.

"When the last [holocaust survivor] will be gone, a page will be turned.

This is a nice, clear look at the "school district bans Elie Wiesel quote" story. Spoiler: the school district does not come out looking good at all.

Who would have thought someone like Elie Wiesel would be considered controversial?
Apparently, it's a Bucks County, PA principal who ordered a teacher to take down the author's quote on remaining neutral in the face of evil.
If this principal and others of a like mind have an issue with a quote from the author's 1986 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, you know they oppose any of his writings.

Ugh. The "novel" is "Night." When the school district doesn't know the difference between fiction and non-fiction, no wonder the principal feels empowered to order the librarian to take down the quote.

Remembering the words of #ElieWiesel on this #HolocaustMemorialDay from our conversations in The God Factor: "I want to believe [God] was on the side of the victims...Look what they have done, what the killers have done, not only to us, but to God.”

“We must 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 in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe.”
