I decided to devote my life to telling the story because I felt that having
survived I owe something to the dead. I believe anyone who does not remember,
betrays them again.

-Elie Wiesel

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
