Writers Notebook Prompt

beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take
sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence
encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. (Elie Wiesel

This quote could be said to signify that the silent witnesses to an
atrocity are just as guilty as the ones committing it.Do you
agree or disagree with this sentiment? Why or why not? Explain
your perspective using examples from history, witnessed events,and/or personal experiences.
