In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, the injustices committed by the Nazis is shown though Wiesel’s firsthand experience of the Holocaust in several concentration camps. This in addition to the documentary Bully, which shows how ignorance of everyday injustices may lead to dangerous consequences, implies that silence is not acceptable in these types of situations.
