The brilliant concentration camp survivor who taught us all to "NEVER FORGET".
He was THE Nazi hunter. His life and words should never be forgotten. He was one of the greats. Mr. Wiesel passed 9/20/2005 ten days prior to his 97th birthday.
"I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes were open and I was alone – terribly alone in a world without God and without man."
Elie Wiesel, Night
(1958, translated by Stella Rodway)
The Family prior to the madness.
At 17 in Buchenwald where he was transferred to after being at Auschwitz. He was the only member of his immediate family to survive. If you only read one book on the horrors of the concentration camps let it be 'Night' by Mr. Wiesel
This blog gives a look into the eternal sunshine of my ever roving mind. I consider myself a social critic. I believe in Film, Music, Theatre, Musical Theatre, Gay Rights, the Right to Choose, Human Rights and YES I still believe in Barack Obama. I believe in most things left of center. I don't get any organized religion.They are all a sham. This is the gay pride flag. I am proudly gay. These are the things this blog is about. Love it, like it or leave it. We all have choices.
