On May 24, 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge was opened to traffic with a public celebration. The bridge, linking Brooklyn to Manhattan, was originally called the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, or the Great East River Bridge. It took over 14 years to plan and build the first bridge that would connect the cities of New York and Brooklyn. Thousands of people attended the dedication ceremony, including President Chester A. Arthur and the New York Governor Grover Cleveland. The Brooklyn Bridge was the largest suspension bridge to be built at that time. How does the narrator’s description of the day compare to this description? What similarities or differences do you notice?

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.
