How does the passage expand on the central idea
"large numbers of elizabethans died from illness and
disease"?
serious though influenza and malaria are, they are not
the biggest killers of the age. that title belongs to the
plague or "pestilence." no one knows precisely how many
die over the course of the reign but the total is probably
around 250,000. in 1565 the people of bristol count up
the plague victims for that year and arrive at the figure of
2,070, almost 20 percent of the population. ten years
later, after another deadly outbreak, they record a further
2,000 fatalities.

Read the excerpt from elie wiesel’s all rivers run to the sea. why were those trains allowed to roll unhindered into poland? why were the tracks leading to birkenau never bombed? i have put these questions to american presidents and generals and to high-ranking soviet officers. since moscow and washington knew what the killers were doing in the death camps, why was nothing done at least to slow down their “production”? that not a single allied military aircraft ever tried to destroy the rail lines converging on auschwitz remains an outrageous enigma to me. birkenau was “processing” ten thousand jews a day. stopping a single convoy for a single night—or even for just a few hours—would have prolonged so many lives. based on the paragraph, the author would most likely agree that it is best to avoid confrontation at all costs. people need to be proactive when they witness an injustice. countries should remain neutral to keep alliances strong. moscow and washington are to be blamed for the holocaust.
