Night

Testimonies serve as an outlet in which to influence and notify others of the world's injustices. Within his own testimonial book Night, Ellie Wesiel uses his memoir to demonstrate to every person of every nationality, every religion, and every political view the necessity of moral attention. Once, the world rose up against these presented acts of bigotry, hatred, and genocide. Once, a dream and hope were presented to those who had been forgotten, through the rescue of the Jews from Nazi Germany. In his Noble Peace Prize Acceptance Speech, Ellie said, "And now the boy is turning to me. 'Tell me,' he asks, 'what have you done with my future, what have you done with your life?' "

No longer can the world reside within a state of naпve ignorance. "Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices," says Ellie Wesiel. If we forget, if the world turns its back on those whose voices have been stolen, then an act of callousness just as barbaric and horrific as Hitler's and countless other inhumane monsters, has been committed. Freedom must be declared. People of the United States of America, of Great Britain, of Mexico-of any given country-must free themselves with their own given and assumed abilities to pursue forgiveness, charity, and acceptance of all peoples; for society has been inextricably chained to its own paralyzed vision of moral tenacity through apathetical inaction vivaciously promoted by the pursuit of personal wealth and prestige. Through individuals, the world can overcome its discrepancy and become a greater and better place. For all that is right and just in this world, for all peoples, all nations, all colors, all cultures, all ages, there is a dream-there is a hope.
