Primary – September 30

“I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

–Elie Wiesel, who was born this date in 1928 and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

Write a story about a time you were silent when you should have spoken.
