text: Elie Wiesel's Remarks at the Dedication of Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum by commonlit
In the context of the text, war brings about profound changes in individuals. It alters their perspectives, values, and moral compasses, often leading to an erosion of empathy and an increase in brutality. This is evident in Elie Wiesel's remarks, where he speaks of the horrors endured by Jews during the Holocaust. War not only influenced the Nazi Party's treatment of Jews, but it also allowed for the proliferation of extreme ideologies and the dehumanization of an entire population. The text highlights how war creates an environment where discrimination, hatred, and violence can thrive, as witnessed through the systemic persecution and genocide of Jews. Additionally, my experience and knowledge of other historical events, such as the Rwandan Genocide and the Bosnian War, further illustrate the devastating impact of war on people and the manipulation of such conflicts to target specific ethnic or religious groups.
