Question

Which statement best identifies the central idea of the text, from the story ELIE WIESEL'S REMARKS AT THE DEDICATION OF YAD VASHEM HOLOCAUST HISTORY MUSEUM

Answer 1

B. The horrors of the past should not be forgotten, but rather used to encourage positive change.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eliezer Elie Wiesel made a speech at the opening of the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum. In his speech, Eliezer recounted the harsh treatment followed by the gory deaths meted out to Jews in the Holocaust which claimed the lives of about six million Jews, during World War 2.

He explained that it was only normal that history is remembered as that helps in mental healing and is recommended by Psychiatrists. But then he stressed that the knowledge of the past should be used to better the present.
