Witness bears weight
Elie Wiesel on p 11 of his preface to Night, writes: “It is obvious that the war which Hitler and his accomplices waged was a war not only against Jewish men, women, and children, but also against Jewish religion, Jewish culture, Jewish tradition, therefore Jewish memory.” Thus, witness bears some of the same weight as does memory. Even a memory that might only last until the wisp of smoke falls apart—but nevertheless memory that long.
