Regardless of failure or defeat, the actions and attitudes of Elie Wiesel can attest to the indomitable strength of the human spirit because of his courage to withstand death, illness, and* injustice*.
I don't know what my third point should be. I just put injustice there but I don't know how I could support that if SO I'm looking to change it. Any ideas?
Thanks
I think I'm going to use "and keep his faith"...

If you decide to keep "injustice," you can write about how the S.S. systematically killed Wiesel's mother, youngest sister and father. Granted, many of the S.S. officers were charged with crimes against humanity after the war, but for Wiesel, he doesn't even know any of his family's killers.
His faith is however, probably the easiest to write about. In the beginning, Wiesel started off as a student who devoted his time studying the Talmud and dreamed one day of studying the Cabala. He was a boy who had faith and innocence.
At Auschwitz, Wiesel and the other prisoners worked long hours with very little food.and battled the cold. Every week people would collapse from exhaustion. If they lost the strength to survive, they would be sent to the gas chambers or their body would be thrown into a lorry like a sack of garbage. It seemed as though it was useless to try to survive, to live another day.
Wiesel who once had faith in God, changed his way of believing Him. He questioned his existence and asked Him how could he let this happen. He even went far as to asking himself "Why should I bless His name? The Eternal, Lord of the Universe, the All-Powerful and Terrible, was silent. What had I to thank Him for" (31)? His faith in God started to dwindle but miracuously, he never lost complete faith

possibly persecution?
