Answer:

I believe the answer is...

B) the persecution of the Jews during the Holocaust.

Step-by-step explanation:

I've read Elie Wiesel's book, "Night" and it was all about the holocaust and what it was like for him in the camp. Mr.Wiesel was a holocaust survivor, is what made me determine the answer to be "B". None of the others make sense.

I really do hope this helps!!! :)
