“I will never be able to go back to Sweden without knowing inside myself that I'd done all a man could do to save as many Jews as possible”
Raoul Wallenberg

Aharon Appelfeld
“One night I heard one of the refugees say, “There are atrocities that one should not speak about.”
“Why?” wondered another refugee.
“I can’t explain it to you.”
“You have to speak about everything, so that everyone will know what they did to us.”
“I’m not going to argue with you.”
“If we won’t be witnesses, who will bear witness?”
“They won’t believe us, anyway.”
Aharon Appelfeld, The Story of a Life
