agree with the statement made by Elie Wiesel, “Neutrality helps the oppressor never the oppressed. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Elie Wiesel is an author of multiple books and one referencing his time in the Holocaust called Night. Later, during the mid 1980s earned the Nobel Peace Prize.
One reason why I agree with Elie Wiesel’s statement is how bystanders never felt the need to challenge Hitler’s power. In class we took notes about the Holocaust, part of the notes was that Adolf Hitler passed a law to where no one could object him. This goes to show that later on in history Hitler could do anything without reason or have someone refuse his decisions. This also shows that he had ultimate power and the government that Germany had before WWII was a communist state. Another example is the Nazis had lied about where they took the Jews. This shows that they knew that what they were doing was wrong. It also shows that nobody actually could not object anything. This all goes to show why I agree with Elie Wiesel. …show more content…

This example adds on to why I agree with Elie by showing that many times during the book after an animal was taken the other animals would mock them or make mean and ugly comments about them.
