The duty of the survivor is to bear testimony to what happened . . . You have to warn people that these things can happen, that evil can be unleashed. Race hatred, violence, idolatries—they still flourish.- Elie Wiesel, The Watchtower, June 15, 1995; Will Hatred Ever End?

These are slave laborers in the Buchenwald concentration camp
near Jena; many had died from malnutrition when U.S. troops of the 80th Division entered the
camp. The very ill man lying at the back on the lower bunk is Max Hamburger,
who had TBC and severe malnutrition. He recovered and became a psychiatrist in
the Netherlands. Second row, seventh from left is Elie Wiesel. Photograph taken
5 days after rescue.
