roosevelt

d. provide evidence that a thousand jews were killed on the st. louis

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

Explanation:

A part of the text clearly shows that Eliezer Wiesel is trying to show America's indifference to the plight of the Jews. He is not able to understand why and how it happened on the highest level in the greatest democracy and the most generous of all new nations

"A thousand people – In America, the great country, the greatest democracy, the most generous of all new nations in modern history. What happened? I don’t understand. Why the indifference….."

There is not mention of sending more troops, death of President Franklin, or any evidence or mention of 1000 Jews killed on St. Louis.
