Tattooing: Elie Wiesel


"In the afternoon, they made us line up. Three prisoners brought a table and some medical instruments. We were told to roll up our left sleeves and file past the table. The three "veteran" prisoners, needles in hand, tattooed numbers on our left arms. I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name."
--From Elie Wiesel's, Holocaust Survivor, book: Night, page 42
