After reading Elie Wiesel's acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, we can say the following about how he acknowledges and responds to other viewpoints:

- Wiesel explains that, as a Jew who survived the Holocaust, causes related to his people will always be a priority to him. However, he acknowledges other issues that are also important to him.

He mentions those issues:

  • the Apartheid.
  • Andrei Sakharov's isolation.
  • Josef Biegun's and Nelson Mandela's imprisonment.
  • Lech Walesa's right to dissent.

He also mentions, among other contemporary conflicts:

  • terrorism
  • hunger
  • injustice
  • political persecution

He responds to those issues with concern and empathy. He also criticizes the indifference that leads to the continuity of those conflicts.

<h3>Who was Elie Wiesel?</h3>
  • Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) was originally born in Romania. As a Jew, he was persecuted and locked in a concentration camp during the Nazi regime in Germany.
  • In his writings, Wiesel recounts the horrors he lived in the concentration camp.

<h3>What was Wiesel's speech about?</h3>
  • In 1986, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and, in his speech, he talks of the Jewish plight and how that will always be his priority.
  • However, he does not fail to mention other issues that were going on in the world at the time.
  • Wiesel acknowledges those issues and regards them with concern and empathy. The fact that one cause is dear to his heart does not keep him from looking at others with sorrow.
  • In his speech, Wiesel criticizes the indifference of people and governments. He says that, when one does nothing to help, one is only benefiting the aggressor, not the victim.
