Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel, in his speech, "The Perils of Indifference," argues that indifference can destroy mankind as it can obliterate a person's humanity.

Political activist and author, Eliezer Wiesel in his frank speech, “The Perils of Indifference,” asserts that being indifferent, or turning one’s back to an issue is just as dangerous as perpetrating the crime, if not more harmful. He develops his message by defining indifference, listing the consequences of indifference, and persuading the audience to take note and step in.

As I was reading “Memory and Imagination,” a memoir, written by Hampl, I could not stop keep making connections with another memoir that I previously read, “The Peril of Memory” by Ventura. The themes of both memoirs relate to recalling memory. Hampl talks about memory in terms of writing a memoir, and Ventura tells about how memory can change and affect the present.

Throughout Solomon’s journey, we see the cruel treatment that is done unto him by southern white slavers.
