“In one of my tales, as SS officer says to a young yeshiva student, ‘You want to live,’ he said. ‘Some will laugh at you. Others will try to redeem themselves through you. People will refuse to believe you. You will possess the truth, but it will be the truth of a mad man.’”

⁃ Elie Wiesel, from USHMM site
