Tzipora Wiesel - a lily amongst the weeds
White lilies are known to be symbols of purity, which is something Tzipora seems embody. She is the youngest sister, and seems to be emotionally and mentally strong for her age, as she did not show sadness when the Wiesel’s were forced from their home.

However, when Tzipora (and Elie’s mother) disappear (and are killed), Elie’s hope seems to leave him.

Shlomo falls ill, and his hope vanishes. Hope is like a flickering candle. It is there, blinking in and out of existence, until there is a great enough wind to extinguish it.
Moishe - the wolf wears sheep’s clothing
Moishe, in the beginning, warns the people of Sighet of the German’s cruelty. He was relentless in telling people of how the Germans killed children, and would shoot babies. No one believed his warnings, and continued to think the Germans who were staying in Sighet didn’t have evil intent. I cannot remember where I’ve heard this phrase before, but I believe it relays his
