“The Perils of Indifference” by Elie Wiesel April 12, 1999
Directions:
1. Read “The Perils of Indifference”
2. Answer the questions that go along with the reading. Do these on your own, if you do not
understand the question then skip it. It is better to skip then to use another person’s answer.
3. More importantly than getting the correct answer is to justify your answer. (Justify-to defend
or uphold as warranted or well-grounded)
4. As you read please take any notes about questions you may have. I do not expect you to
research historical events that the author talks about; however, I would like you to write down
any event about which the author is writing that you have not heard about or read.
