3. The night was gone. The"
morning star was shining in the
sky. I too had become a
completely different person. The
student of the Talmud, the child
that I was, had been consumed in
the flames. There remained only
a shape that looked like me. A
dark flame had entered into my
soul and devoured it."
- Elie Wiesel,Night, Ch. 3
4. When they withdrew, next"
to me were two corpses, side
by side, the father and the
son. I was fifteen years old."
- Elie Wiesel,Night, Ch. 7
5. After my father's death,"
nothing could touch me
any more."
- Elie Wiesel,Night, Ch. 9

7. To forget the dead would”
be akin to killing them a
second time.”
― Elie Wiesel, Night
8. We are grateful to those Christians who saved
Jews.
Wir sind den Christen, die Juden retteten, sehr
dankbar.
תודתנו העמוקה שלוחה לנוצרים שהצילו

9. How could I forget that concert, given to an audience of dying and dead men!""
- Elie Wiesel,Night, Ch. 6
10. I shall never forget Juliek. How could I forget this concert given before an audience of the dead and dying? Even”
today, when I hear that particular piece by Beethoven, my eyes close and out of the darkness emerges the pale and
melancholy face of my Polish comrade bidding farewell to an audience of dying men.”
Elie Wiesel, The Night
11. “Survival” by Ann Froman,
Sculptor
This bronze sculpture shows the people
who survived the
Holocaust, coming to the United States of
America, for safety,
freedom of religion and protection. The
man whose outstretched hands
helping
the people to safety represents Raoul
Wallenberg. He was the Swedish
Diplomat
that saved 100,000 Jews. The man
holding the flag represents Simon
Wiesenthal,
the famous Nazi hunter.

14. The boys on either side one with
a gun for protection,
the other reading the Bible, for
religious freedom to all people.
15. “A religious woman, who knew
exactly when the Day of
Atonement was, prepared a
candlestick from the little
bread she had, put a little
margarine inside it, tore a
narrow strip from her dress
which she lit. So we had a
candle for Yom Kippur.
She prayed while we all
wept bitterly.”
As told by my mother
16. My mom told my sister and me
the story of the Yom Kippur
candle when we were in
Auschwitz, in 2000.
17.
18. I told Tibor the story
and he created these
sketches, painting ,
statue about this scene.
The little girl is my
mother.
“ The scenes are the same as you
told me: the brick stove,
improvised candle and people
sad & crying after prayers. “
( Tibor Spitz )
Thank you ,my dear friend !

21. I told him that I did not believe”
that they could burn people in
our age, that humanity would
never tolerate it . . .”
― Elie Wiesel, Night
24. “I don’t regard myself as an artist, but feel
obliged and duty bound to convey to future
generations the awareness of the horror of
the Holocaust through creation made from
various materials”.
Dr.Kieselstein Martin , a Shoah survivor
25. I believe in God--in spite of God! I believe in Mankind--in
spite of Mankind! I believe in the Future--in spite of the
Past!”
― Elie Wiesel
