During the events of World War 2 the Jewish people would be separated from their families and taken away to be used for labor around concentration camps and some would be chosen to be killed. I agree when Elie Wiesel says we should all stand by when human lives are endangered or when people are being criticized by their race, religion, or political view, we didn’t do anything about the Jews being killed until 1941 that was when we joined the World War 2 but only because of the surprise attack on pearl harbor. As young adults from the twenty first century we are taught that bullying is bad and we should stand up against it or help those who are being bullied. I agree that when citizens are judge for being themselves we should stand together. Due to Donald Trump’s Presidency men and women have come together to stand up for women’s equal rights. For example, this past weekend the Women’s March took place almost all over the world from Australia to Alaska, men and women all different race, religion,etc. Participated on helping women grow stronger and showing Trump supporters they won't be a matt for them to step on, just like Hitler saw the Jews.
A statement from the nonfiction novella Night –a personal account of Elie Wiesel’s experience during the Holocaust—reads as follows: “How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou. Almighty, Master of the universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, end up in the furnaces” (67). War is a concept that is greatly looked down upon in most major religions and cultures, yet it has become an inevitable adversity of human nature. Due to war’s inhumane circumstances and the mass destruction it creates, it has been a major cause for many followers of Christianity, Judaism, and other religions to turn from their faith. Followers of religion cannot comprehend how their loving god could allow them to suffer and many devout

Speeches are given for a purpose. Whether it is for persuasion, or education, or even entertainment, they all target certain parts of people’s minds. This speech, The Perils of Indifference, was given by Elie Wiesel with intention to persuade his audience that indifference is the downfall of humanity, and also to educate his audience about his conclusions about the Holocaust and the corresponding events. He was very successful in achieving those goals. Not only was the audience enlightened, but also President Bill Clinton, and the First Lady, Hillary Clinton, themselves were deeply touched by Wiesel’s words.
On 12 April 1999, Elie Wiesel gave a provocative and thought provoking speech, The Perils of Indifference, at the Millennium Lecture series that were held at the White House in Washington D.C. The goal of Wiesel’s speech was to open the audience’s eyes to the harmful effects of indifference to a suffering population, as well as to contemplate how not to let those types of atrocities happen in the new millennium. Wiesel’s dramatic account as a holocaust survivor aides in the success of his speech about indifference. “He was finally free, but there was no joy in his heart” (Wiesel, 1999). By utilizing Aristotle’s three appeals, Ethos, Logos, and Pathos, Wiesel created a successful argument against the dangers of indifference.
Throughout the presence of space and time, various incidents occur in which society gains experience from. Through those experiences, the community makes novels, articles, timelines,and more about those events. One particular author, Elie Wiesel, has written a speech after receiving a nobel peace prize about the dreadful account of the Holocaust. Mr. Wiesel lectures about the numerous deaths of the victims during the Holocaust that affected approximately 12 million people . He speaks of the ghetto that he lived in, the suffering he endured, and the pain of it all. On the other hand, He also speaks of how the world should change, so that an event like the Holocaust never happens again.

He develops this meaning of his speech by points of point of view, rhetorical questioning, and parallel structure.
According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, belonging is a human requirement only topped by mental homeostasis and safety. Human relationships have dictated the role of history, from cooperating to solve worldwide problems, to the establishment of globalization. However, human beings are intrinsically gregarious. The survival of humanity depends on reproduction. In Elie Wiesel’s memoir Night, he recounts the psychological journey the Jews in the Holocaust took. Often regarded as a stain in humankind’s legacy, the Holocaust was a genocide, enforced by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime, in which six million Jews were systematically murdered. Throughout the memoir, an emphasis is placed on the mental effects the

Having an opinion and or a belief is better than not having one at all. A great man such as Elie Wiesel would agree to that statement. He believes standing up for what is right by showing compassion for a fellow human being than for letting good men do nothing while evil triumphs. The message he passes was how indifference is showing the other man he is nothing. He attempts to grasp the audience by personal experiences and historic failures, we need to learn from and also to grow to be the compassionate human being we all are.
Famous writer, speaker and survivor of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel once said: “Together we walk towards the new millennium, carried by profound fear and extraordinary hope.” He spent his life trying to make a difference in the world today, hoping we will follow in his path of enlightening future generations about the dangers in society. Wiesel makes many valid arguments about indifference in the world that correlate to society in the 21st century. In “The Perils of Indifference” by Elie Wiesel, there are correlations between his arguments that people are indifferent to things unless there is a motivation not to be, the continued discrimination throughout society and the progression towards the goal of stopping indifference and the world today.
Why do many people become illiteracy when others are in need of help desperately? For obvious reasons such as the courage to stand up for what you believe in, one might not have the essentials to engage in an act of justice ,and lastly they could possibly be in the similar situation. I agree with Elie Wiesel because what if you were in need of help ,you would want someone to back you up with the obstacles you're trying to overcome.
For my book report, I read Day by Elie Wiesel. The narrator’s name is only mentioned once when he states, “I am Eliezer, the son of Sarah” (Wiesel 73). Throughout the book, the narrator tells two stories. One story is about his past and another story is about his current life. In the past, the narrator lived through the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, everyone he knew died when he was very young. These deaths caused him to have a lot of suffering that haunts him for the rest of his life because he lives with the guilt of being the only survivor. The narrator cannot move on from his painful past, so he honestly does not care about his life. During the present time, Eliezer sees a cab coming his way. There is a possibility for him to avoid it,
Elie Wiesel, a survivor of the Holocaust, describes indifference as “the most insidious danger of all” in his Nobel Peace Prize speech. Indifference is something that shouldn’t be acceptable, and nothing good had ever come from it. The effects of indifference are the benefit of the oppressor, the loss of all hope in the victims of injustice, as well as an increase in inhumanity of humankind.
In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, it talks about the holocaust and what it was like being in it. The Germans were trying to make the German race the supreme race. To do this they were going to kill off everyone that wasn’t a German. If you were Jewish or something other than German, you would have been sent to a concentration camp and segregated by men and women. If you weren’t strong enough you were sent to the crematory to be cremated. If you were strong enough you were sent to work at a labor camp. With all the warnings the Jewish people had numerous chances to run from the Germans, but most ignored the warnings.
Among the multitude of unsettling statements Wiesel made in his speech, the one to disturb the most unrest within me was when he explained that for his people amidst the injustice against them, their fear of God abandoning them, expressing indifference towards them, was far greater than the reality of the same being done by their human brethren. Running with his thesis of the destruction of indifference, Wiesel also noted that the wrathful punishment of God would have been preferable than to experience the extreme disconnect from God born out of apathy. The conclusion that even during their suffering, God was still (silently) by their side tells me that hope is not lost. This is what hammered his point of the entire speech to me. In the paragraph
