The hope is that his one voice will bring new light to a list of statistics, that the world will feel a much deeper impact when it views the torment of the Holocaust, rather than simply see the numbers and get on with their days. As you read line after line and memory after memory, you can almost feel your heart breaking with every turn of the page. My heart will forever ache for the innocent lives lost and the battles that should not have needed to be fought. A quote from the novel will forever be instilled in my mind: “I will never forget that night, the first night at camp, which transformed my life into one long seven-times-sealed night. I'll never forget that smoke. I will never forget the little faces of the children whose bodies I saw turn to smoke under a silent sky. I will never forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me of the will to live for all eternity. I will never forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ash. I will never forget those things, even if I were condemned to live as long as God himself. Never” (p34). I will never forget Wiesel's courage and I will never forget the Holocaust
