Elie Wiesel's Speech The Perils Of Indifference

The holocaust was a tragic event that Elie Wiesel went through making a speech and wrote a book about his experience. Elie Wiesel’s speech the Perils of Indifference is explaining about his opinion on his experience rather than the book he wrote Night explains his experience. I believe that his speech Perils Of Indifference got his message across better. Both were very informative and well written and got his message across.

The book Night written by Elie Wiesel was a great book describing his personal experiences in the camps, and what he had gone through like losing friends, family, and many other innocent people dying. The book “Night” gets his message across by telling his personal experiences starting from the beginning. Some examples throughout the book of what happened was when he injured his leg very bad, and wondered “Will I be able to use my leg?” (Wiesel 80). He also explained on how he was treated, including the living conditions, and the bad food he was given while living st the death camps. …show more content…
In his speech he has a whole section saying about how it is very easy to sit around watch and to not help or do anything about the problem. I thought this was very effective because it was so important that no one was helping earlier than they did. Elie also included some flashbacks which are important still connecting personal experiences to this tragic event. Flashbacks are important giving the person either reading or listening a visual of what really happened when he was in the camps. Elie talks about how the 1900s was the century of violence, mostly because of the holocaust, but there were other events that happened that were very violent including two world wars, countless civil wars, assassinations of the Kennedys, and Martin Luther King
