Their hidden or even visible anguish is of no interest.” In this article,Wiesel’s suggestion with people that are indifferent don’t care about others, and what they are feeling, and as well as what they were going through at that time, for example, if they are feeling pain, if they are feeling alone, or if they want to be heard by someone, etc.In conclusion, Ellie Wiesel belief is that indifference is a horrible thing to have, and to make others. In the view of some of the audience or of the reader they might think that, Elie Wiesel is right, because of how he uses it in his speech with all the examples, and statements being made from his point of perspective.
