•	In what ways does Wiesel relate not only his own nightmarish memory of the Holocaust but also humanity’s?

Well, he spends a lot of the book talking not just about his experience, but about the experiences he saw around him. you could probably find some specific examples/quotes of that if necessary.
Also, he believed that it was sheer luck that he was alive to tell the story, so he felt compelled to tell the story of all the people who did not survive. 

Basic Idea: At many points in the narrative, he talks about larger issues of the Holocaust, good and evil, etc. that don't relate just to his story, but rather to humanity's story as a whole.

But you'll probably want to find a couple examples of how he focuses on the larger story. I recommend the section where he has just arrived at the concentration camp.
