Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

During his speech, Wiesel declares that the Jews, while they were captive and suffering, thought that the great leaders of the world did not know what was happening with them, because they would had stopped it.

But then, he realized that the great leaders knew it and yet did nothing.
