Question

“There may be a time when we are powerless to prevent injustice,but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” - Elie Wiesel
How does this connect to the Holocaust?

Answer 1

I am not sure, but to me it seems that the first part of the quote is very easily connected to the Holocaust. That's because during the Holocaust the Jews and other groups of people were basically powerless and couldn't defend themselves against injustice (Hitler). The second part of the quote goes on to say that we should never "fail to protest" againsy such injustice. To connect this to the Holocaust, we can think about it as people disagreeing with Hitler Germany and disbelieving in his stupid ideologies. There could be other ways to look at it but this is what I could think of now.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The right lost by anyone living in any country that had been conquered was the loss of the right to escape to a better country and the right to speak against the Nazi government. There is a wonderful exception to this -- Italy. There are two others where actions spoke louder than words -- Denmark and Holland.

By and large the right to protest was taken away as soon as the Occupying force of Germany turned off their tank engines. People who did protest were immediately arrested.

The Holocaust was a war against civilians and it was a war that was fought where murder was a virtue. So if you were going to protest, you better assume that your life was not worth 25 cents. Nevertheless we must at least say something as we are dragged off to the furnaces or the hanging block which was busy day and night.

If this answer sounds grim to you then you have the right response.
