Eliezer from the Night by Elie Wiesel, interrupts the narration to include a section that describes the effect the Holocaust had on his life. He said in his speech "“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” It means that no matter what, people of conscience should never allow such words or act to stand unchallenged. It must fill us with enough courage to never sit in silence, and that maybe as we work on ourselves, we could learn how to inspire such courage in others.
