There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

Freedom, Philosophy, Military

Elie Wiesel (2011). “From the Kingdom of Memory: Reminiscences”, p.182, Schocken

There is much to be done, there is much that can be done... One person of integrity, can make a difference, a difference of life and death. As long as one dissident is in prison, our freedom will not be true. As long as one child is hungry, our lives will be filled with anguish and shame. What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedom depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs.
