The speaker begins the discourse thanking the authorities and friends for allowing him to give his speech. Elie Wiesel continues explaining the concept of indifference, then provides some examples of it. He argues that indifference is the best weapon to attack when he states:

"Indifference is not a beginning, it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor -- never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten. (Weisel E. ,1999, April 12. The Perils of Indifference. Speech, Washington.)"

Elie shares this information to relate it to the events he went through during the Holocaust.

He says the victims had the thought of consolation that the authorities of the big countries were not aware of what was happening in Germany, but then they all realize the Pentagon knew what was going on. Later on, he provides an example of indifference he witnessed:

"I don't understand. Roosevelt was a good man, with a heart. He understood those who needed help. Why didn't he allow these refugees to disembark? A thousand people -- in America, a great country, the greatest democracy, the most generous of all new nations in modern history. What happened? I don't understand. Why the indifference, on the highest level, to the suffering of the victims? (Weisel E. ,1999, April 12. The Perils of Indifference. Speech, Washington.)".

He closes the speech questioning if we as humans have learned from this and will stop being indifferent to the misfortunes of others, and states he is afraid of the future but full of hope.

The speaker orders his ideas beginning with the explanation of the concept he will use as some kind of framework for the audience to understand his experiences and point of view. After he uses the already explained concept to handle the APEX of the speech.
