Similarly to Wiesel, Levi mentions those who disrupt the serenity aboard the freight-train, but makes a general comment over the group of people he travels with, and with no hint of curiosity or sympathy notes their incessant need to cause disruptions, “There are few men who know how to go their deaths with dignity… Few know how to remain silent and respect the silence of others” (Levi 18). Whereas Wiesel mentions one character to sympathize with, Levi makes a harsh statement over the group in a general way without the same description and narrative of their experiences — he focuses on the horrors of being on the train. In a similar situation Levi and Wiesel react very differently to their experiences — this is related to their degree of innocence. Levi described the event with disdain because he has an understanding the severity of his fate, while Wiesel is too preoccupied with acquiring knowledge and understanding what is happening as a young and innocent
