Read this excerpt from the conclusion of Elie Wiesel's The Perils of
Indifference speech:
Does it mean that we have learned from the past? Does it
mean that society has changed? Has the human being
become less indifferent and more human? Have we really
learned from our experiences? Are we less insensitive to
the plight of victims of ethnic cleansing and other forms of
injustices in places near and far? Is today's justified
intervention in Kosovo, led by you, Mr. President, a lasting
warning that never again will the deportation, the
terrorization of children and their parents, be allowed
anywhere in the world? Will it discourage other dictators in
other lands to do the same?
