Question

the perils of indifference by elie wiesel, pages 246 - 260
but then, there were human beings who were strangers to our tragedy. those non - jews, those christians, that we call the
ighteous gentiles,\ whose selfless acts of heroism saved the honor of their faith. why were they so few? why was there a greater effort to save ss members after the war than to save their victims during the war? why did some of americas largest corporations continue to do business with hitlers germany until 1942? it has been suggested, and it was documented, that the wehrmacht could not have conducted its invasion of france without oil obtained from american sources. how is one to explain their indifference?
and yet, my friends, good things have also happened in this traumatic century: the defeat of nazism, the collapse of communism, the rebirth of israel on its ancestral soil, the demise of apartheid, israels peace treaty with egypt, the peace accord in ireland. and let us remember the meeting, filled with drama and emotion, between rabin and arafat that you, mr. president, convened in this very place. i was here and i will never forget it.
