Question

what lessons can be gained from the holocaust? according to wiesel, what are the consequences of acting indifferently to the suffering of others? compare and contrast wiesel's speech with his views in night. how has wiesel's optimism changed over the years?

Answer 1

1- Elie believed that the greatest memorial you could do for the victims would be to save lives in the future and to do so in memory of the victims.

"Only human beings can move me to despair," Wiesel told National Geographic in 2006. "But only human beings can remove me from despair."

2- He argues, "Indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten."

3- The central theme of this speech is Wiesel's claim that indifference is more dangerous than hatred. He sees indifference as a sin. He takes us back to the camps and brings us into the belief, shared with his fellow prisoners, that if only people knew what was happening, they would intervene.

4- In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Elie experiences many changes because of what he experiences. Elie had to change to survive and keep his loved ones by his side. Throughout the book, Elie evolved the way he acted toward people, loved ones, and the things he thought he knew to be true.
