Meanwhile, in Philadelphia...

This is the quote of contention, now restored, from Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace prize acceptance speech in 1986:

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.

Mr. Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor who wrote numerous moving books. I particularly suggest his book Night, which chronicles his experiences as a teenager during the Holocaust.

Librarian says he was told to remove poster of Holocaust survivor’s quote for violating Central Bucks ‘advocacy’ policy
