B. Show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews.

Explanation:

This refers to a passage in "The Perils of Indifference" in which Wiesel tells the story of the St. Louis. The St. Louis was a ship that sailed from Europe carrying Jewish refugees, but was denied entry in many countries, including the United States. The ship eventually went back to Europe, and many of the passengers perished during the Holocaust. Wiesel wants us to think of this case and reflect on how this shows the indifference of the United States to the plight of the Jewish people.
