Read this excerpt from "Hope, Despair, and Memory" by Elie Wiesel and answer the question.
The survivors wanted to communicate everything to the living: the victim's solitude and sorrow, the tears of
mothers driven to madness, the prayers of the doomed beneath a fiery sky. They needed
to tell of the child
who, in
hiding with his mother, asked softly, very softly, "Can I cry now?" They needed to tell
of the sick beggar who, in a
sealed cattle-car, began to sing as an offering to his companions. And of the little
girl who, hugging her
grandmother, whispered: "Don't be afraid, don't be sorry to die... I'm not."
What historical context does Wiesel convey using the allusion of a fiery sky?
He compares the sky to hell.
O the fires from air raids during World War II
O the cremation of Jews in the concentration camps
the outbreak of forest fires from bombs in World War II
