Solution

Wiesel establishes logos in this passage by showing a specific example of the cost of indifference. He provides a historical event, the story of the St. Louis, to illustrate his point about the dangers of indifference. He details the consequences of this indifference: the ship, carrying nearly 1,000 Jews, was turned back to Nazi Germany, leading to the suffering and death of many. By using a real, historical event, Wiesel appeals to the audience's sense of logic and reason, making his argument more persuasive and credible.
