Question

During his speech, how does Wiesel soften his criticism of the United States

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

During his speech, Wiesel declares that the Jews, while they were captive and suffering, thought that the great leaders of the world did not know what was happening with them, because they would had stopped it.

But then, he realized that the great leaders knew it and yet did nothing.

To soften this criticism, he mentions that Franklin D. Roosevelt was undoubtedly a great leader, but nevertheless his behavior towards the Jews was flawed.

His speech talks about indifference in general, and how not being indifferent could save many lives.
