I don't like docudramas. Documentaries should not go together with fiction, or half-fiction or quarter-fiction. The two should not go together. They cannot mix.
From Elie Wiesel
I believe in superstitions. You don't talk about a child who hasn't been born.
It's clear to me that one can't be Jewish without Israel. Religious or non-religious, Zionist or non-Zionist, Ashkenazi or Sephardic - all these will not exist without Israel.
I'm a teacher and a writer; my life is words. When I see the denigration of language, it hurts me, and it's easy to denigrate a word by trivializing it.
Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.
We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful girls, to talk, to write, to have toast and tea and live my life - that is what is abnormal.
A destruction, an annihilation that only man can provoke, only man can prevent.
Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
