    In the speech given by Elie Wiesel titled the Perils of Injustice he explores the ideas of indifference and injustice. These are two themes that can relate to Friendswood as well. In his speech he states “If they knew, we thought, surely those leaders would have moved heaven and earth to intervene. They would have spoken out with great outrage and conviction. They would have bombed the railways leading to Birkenau, just the railways, just once” (Wiesel). This quote can be identified with
Friendswood because the people in power knew how harmful the Banes Field could be.
The definition of indifference is lack of interest, concern or apathy. The residents of Friendswood expressed indifference towards the danger they were confronted with. Even though Lee sought to inform the residents they chose to ignore her just like the Americans chose to ignore the danger of the Jews.
Also, there was a sense of inhumanity and injustice in both the article and Friendswood. In the article he speaks about the pain the Jews suffered which was completely inhumane. In Friendswood the fact that the residents of the town were exposed to toxins which people knew were harmful was inhumane in itself.
