Question 7 of 10
Read this passage:
And our only miserable consolation was that we believed
that Auschwitz and Treblinka were closely guarded
secrets; that the leaders of the free world did not know
what was going on behind those black gates and barbed
wire; that they had no knowledge of the war against the
Jews that Hitler's armies and their accomplices waged as
part of the war against the Allies.
If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have
moved heaven and earth to intervene. They would have
spoken out with great outrage and conviction. They would
have bombed the railways leading to Birkenau, just the
railways, just once.
-Elie Wiesel, "The Perils of Indifference," 1999
