The passage is from Elie Wiesel's work, where he reflects on his own personal, firsthand experiences tied to his memoir Night and his ongoing trauma. Memoirs focus on personal memories, specific experiences, and the author's emotional connection to events, which matches this text's focus on his haunted writing and personal reaction to train whistles. Autobiography covers a full life story, while biography is about another person's life, so neither fits.
