Hystory of the Holocaust

Eli Wiezel. “Night. Dawn. Day". - K., Duh i Litera, 2006. |
 |
Silence of G-d in the face of sufferings and disappointments and humanity’s hope – these are the main topics of Eli Wiezel, Nobel Prize winner. He wrote, “The silence of Birkenau is a different silence, unlike any other. It contains screams, muffled whisper of prayer of thousands of human beings doomed for disappearance in the darkness of namelessness, these endless ashes and dust. Silence of humanity in the chorus of inhumane. Dead silence in the chorus of death. Eternal silence under the fading skies”. Books of Eli Wiezel became testimonies of one of the most terrible tragedies of the last century – the Holocaust. |
