They have been silent for many years until know they have stood up. They are kneeling for social injustice and police brutality. The players have been silent until now and it has caused many issues politically and many disagreed. This compares to the Night Book because it is the  path Eliezer took in his life from being young and in concentration camps to winning the noble piece prize for his book and for standing up for the horrible things done to people because of their race or religion.]]> 2017-10-12 13:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/benbutler/k9xvy852mbkj/wish/196406508 https://www.sbnation.com/2017/10/11/16456478/golden-knights-las-vegas-shooting-victims-tribute-ceremony-nhl-2017 benbutler https://padlet.com/benbutler/k9xvy852mbkj/wish/196410444 The NHL's newest team the Las Vegas Golden Knights, an expansion team as of this year, held a ceremony for the victims of the Las Vegas shooting. Before their first home game of the year, the fist home game in the teams history they held a 58 moment of silence for the 58 victims of the shooting. This connects to the theme of silence in Night because back then silence was something bad and you were supposed to speak up. Though nowadays we hold moments of silence for those fallen and that can't speak up anymore. Soon after this pregame ceremony the #vegasstrong was trending on twitter.]]> 2017-10-12 13:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/benbutler/k9xvy852mbkj/wish/196410444 This shows the theme of silence in general during Night.
