Romanian-US novelist.
His works provide a sober yet passionate testament of the plight of Jews during WW II; awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1986.
Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.
"Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair."
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
"There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win."
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."
