On a personal note - The Perils of Indifference

Indifference is not a beginning, it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.
--Holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel

I was reading a speech Elie Wiesel had given to the East Room of the White House on April 12, 1999, as part of the Millennium Lecture series, hosted by President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.

I loved the entire speech, but this passage touched me personally.
