Remembering and Reflecting on the Holocaust

Question 2 • Common Core ELA 11 - ELA3011 IC

How is Wiesel’s memoir effective in addressing the horrors of the Holocaust? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
It allows Wiesel to address a difficult subject in a deeply personal way.
B
It allows Wiesel a sense of emotional detachment in writing about a difficult subject.
C
It allows the reader to emotionally and intimately connect with the author’s experiences.
D
Wiesel’s personal reflection on the Holocaust illustrates its lingering impact on him and other survivors.

Explanation

A memoir draws on the author’s personal experiences, so Wiesel can address the Holocaust in a deeply personal way and help readers connect emotionally with what he endured. His reflections also reveal that the Holocaust continued to affect him and other survivors long after it ended. Emotional detachment, described in choice B, is not what makes the memoir effective.
