Elie Wiesel, New York, 1969 -by Philippe Halsman  [+] Notwithstanding my doubts about language, and perhaps because of them, I plunge deeper and deeper into the whirlwind of the words I try to capture and tame. I cling to the notion that in the beginning there was the word; and that the word is the story of man; and that man is the story of God. If praying is an act of faith in God, then writing is a token of trust in man.—Elie Wiesel, in ‘And the sea is never full: Memoirs II 1969- ” (Knopf, 1999) photo from heritage

Elie Wiesel (last on the right) at Buchenwald, April 16 1945 -by H. Miller This is a detail of a famous photo taken inside Buchenwald Barrack 56 by Private H. Miller of the Civil Affairs Branch of the U. S. Army Signal Corps on April 16, 1945, five days after the Buchenwald camp was liberated by the Sixth Armored Division of the US Third Army on April 11, 1945. This photo was published by the New York Times on May 6, 1945 with the caption “Crowded Bunks in the Prison Camp at Buchenwald.” Block 56 was an adult barrack in the “Small Camp” at Buchenwald. The story of this picture and the identification of other survivors can be read here. The photo is also analysed on a flickr post.
