Quote of the day by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel: 'We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor...' Nobel laureate's award speech on why standing with victims is the right choice, not staying neutral

Today's quote comes from Holocaust survivor, author and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, who spoke these powerful words during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech in Oslo on December 10, 1986. The quote stresses that remaining neutral or silent in the face of injustice only benefits those who cause harm, while standing up for others is a moral responsibility.
