The obligations that Elie Wiesel states in "Hope, Despair, and Memory" are to quote: "None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness." Wiesel meant that we need to teach others of war's hideousness, and to tell of the terrifying tales from them. An example of this is the Holocausts. Many works of literature ranging from books to poems exist from this period. Because many people were noble enough to express what happened to them, or of someone else, the world now knows the tortuous things that happened in the Holocausts. Due to these people sharing their experiences and those works becoming well known, many people will not allow the Holocausts happen again. This was the obligation that Wiesel stated in his speech he presented when he received his Nobel Peace Prize. Wiesel is one of those people who never let the memory of the Holocausts die. He wrote books about experiences in the Holocausts and of others experiences as well. He followed through on his obligation, are you willing to write about your daily life in order for others to see it? Wiesel also states: "Remembering is a noble and necessary act." We need to be able to recount our daily lives in order for the future generations to be able to know what it was like. They can then look back upon our recounts and see what we had to deal with. Such as, the building of "The Wall" by Donald Trump, the California wildfires, and school shootings. And the good things like: celebrating birthdays, hanging out with friends, following our hobbies and dreams, and being able to choose what religion we are part of. It is our obligation to write about our school days, our experiences, our love triangles, our bits of depression, our lives to share with the world.
