Elie Wiesel gave his speech because it was a reason for him to come and visit his father's grave even though his father didn't have a grave.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Elie Wiesel gave a speech at Buchenwald Concentration Camp because he wanted to dedicate a moment to celebrate the life of his father. Wiesel was a survivor of the concentration Nazi camps during the Holocaust in World War II years in Germany. His messages and activism for world peace made him the winner of the Noble Peace Prize in 1986.
