Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours that showed that the text in question was "Night" written by Elie Wiesel. If that's your case, I hope the answer below can help you.
Answer:
Wiesel identifies himself as the witness of a crime and he communicates who he is by reflecting on why he survived the holocaust.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wiesel is a Jewish author and his book "Night" presents the memories he had as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II.
In the preface to the book, Wiese reflects on the reasons that allowed him to survive the holocaust. He does not believe that he survived by a miracle, because miracles happen to deserving ones and he does not believe that he is one. For Wiesel, he survived because he is a witness as well as an author and that is how he presents himself to the reader.
He witnessed all the violence, criminality and abuse that the Nazis were giving to the Jews. Therefore, the reason for him to survive, was for him to use his talent for writing, to keep the crimes committed by the Nazis on record in a book, thus preventing these crimes from being erased from history and forgotten.
