Question

Which statement best describes how Wiesel addresses the impact of his Jewish identity on his perspective? COMMONLIT- Ellie Wiesel’s Nobel Acceptance Speech

Answer 1

Wiesel asserts that he will always concentrate on Jewish suffering as a result of his identity, but another suffering is just as worthy of attention.

Explanation:

The speech implies that “To remain silent when injustices occur is to support injustice and to undermine human rights everywhere.” This thesis is supported by the author's own experiences and the many allusions made in the speech.
