Lost for words, Lord of the Flies and Night

In both Lord of the Flies and Night the number of people being affected by violence is greater than the number of people committing it. In Night the Nazi soldiers kill, beat and starve the prisoners of the concentration camps while under the threat of death they cannot say anything. In a similar way in Lord of the Flies the group looks as Jack slowly goes insane and escalates his violence but nobody says a word. Like the quote from Edmund Burke "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". People in both situations believed it is too dangerous to stand up and because of that allowed them to continue spreading the violence.
