How could living through the unspeakable change a person? In the case of Elie Wiesel, he changed after living through the holocaust. His friends and family were murdered around him. He had to witness the brutality and violence that happened when he was in captivity. Elie changed physically, emotionally, and spiritually after having to suffer through pain and hardship during the holocaust.
He had the courage to fight for the justice he knew would come after his long and strenuous battle. In the end he too died with his morals intact, and change on the
He was in a hopeless situation, he was unable to fight back against the one who basically caused his father to die, because of this hopelessness and the trauma he had endured he had nothing left to react to other than continue to move on and fight to stay alive. This social change and the society he was living in at the time people became accustomed to the constant death that they felt guilty but they had to keep on moving, it was everyone for themselves. They had little to no power to fight back. He couldn't get
In his attempt to discover his purpose in life he had to go against his entire community, lose his wife, and even violate the rules he had followed his entire life.

He even starved himself to show help people. He was a person who put people above him and never gave up on any cause he put his heart into.

The main reason why this speech is so effective, is because of the fact that Elie Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor. Being that Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor, the audience automatically sees him as someone who knows what they’re talking about because he has experienced these events which inclines the audience to pay more attention to what he is saying. Because of what Wiesel went through, he is able criticize the American government for the pain that suffering that it contributed to because it was “Indifferent”. While this would still be a very effective and impactful speech if another person was to preform it, it would still not be close to effective as when Wiesel performed it. I feel that if a person who did not experience the horrors of
Once he opened the Elie Wiesel Foundation For Humanity, he successfully molded his legacy and created a strong passion for promoting acceptance. After experiencing terror and
In Elie Wiesel’s speech, he talks about how humanity is suffering everywhere and human rights are violated on every continent. This leads into his point that one person can make an impactful difference in the world that changes everything. This quote stuck out to me in Elie Wiesel’s speech because he states that one person can make a change that affects life and death. I believe that this means the actions of one brave person to make a difference can affect the lives of millions. It made me realize how one small action or one strong speech like Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech can impact many lives for the better.
Elie Wiesel once said, “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.” If you have ever read or even studied Elie Wiesel, you know that he isn't lying. Elie Wiesel was never silent about the suffering of Jews in concentration camps, he wrote many books, novels, and short stories about his experiences while he was in the concentration camps. His unfortunate childhood in the camps led to his notable and successful career as an author. No one can truly understand what it was like to experience the holocaust like Elie Wiesel.
He felt great sorrow at what he had done and came to the realization of how easy a life and death matter could shift. In order to be a free man he had to work as a "tough guy" and do as they commanded, and like anyone in his situation would do he obeyed. As he got older he built a reputation and was feared by many while only holding onto one close friend. He loved his friend, he held him dear and
He never gave up on what he wanted to know about. He spend hours doing research to bring life from death. He didn't not even think about any consequences about bringing something that is left back to life. He even spends time away from his family in order to accomplish the goal that he had for himself. All of this causes him to suffer because of the negative consequences that it brought him.
