First Read: Comprehension
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A. Lech Walesa

C. Nelson Mandela

E. Andrei Sakharov

Explanation:

In his “Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Elie Wiesel referred to the suffering of the people who were represented by Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela and Andrei Sakharov as important to him as the suffering of the Jews.

In his speech, he said, "Apartheid is, in my view, as abhorrent as anti-Semitism. To me, Andrei Sakharov's isolation is as much of a disgrace as Josef Biegun’s imprisonment. As is the denial of Solidarity and its leader Lech Wałęsa’s right to dissent. And Nelson Mandela’s interminable imprisonment.

There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for "
