Quite simply, Elie Wiesel, in his speech "The Perils of Indifference," wants us to know that when someone is indifferent to the suffering of another, he/she is just as guilty as the person causing the suffering. When we stand idly by and do nothing, we become accomplices to a crime against other human beings.
Wiesel acknowledges in his speech that FDR was a great leader, that he mobilized a country still a bit dizzy from the effects of a huge economic depression, and his Lend-Lease program gave the Allies weapons that were essential to the cause. But he also acknowledges that Roosevelt didn't do enough to help the Jews and that his image in Jewish history has suffered because of it.
Answer: People can be generally kind, but still do very bad things.
Hope this helps!
