Read this excerpt from a news article and answer the question that follows:

Defiance in music: honoring a Holocaust-era pledge

PRAGUE (AP) (1306261430775)

In a concentration camp designed by the Nazis to eradicate Jewish cultural life, among 120,000 of its inmates who would ultimately be murdered, a rising young musician named Rafael Schachter managed one of the miracles of the Holocaust.

Assembling hundreds of sick and hungry singers, he led them in 16 performances learned by rote from a single smuggled score of one of the most monumental and moving works of religious music—Giuseppe Verdi's Requiem Mass.

"These crazy Jews are singing their own requiem," Adolf Eichmann, a principal architect of the genocide, was heard to remark after attending one of the performances at the unique and surreal camp of Terezin, in what was then German-occupied Czechoslovakia.

But for Schachter and his fellow prisoners, this Mass for the dead became not an act of meek submission to their fate, but rather one of defiance of their captors, as well as a therapy against the enveloping terror.

For Schachter would tell the singers: "Whatever we do here is just a rehearsal for when we will play Verdi in a grand concert hall in Prague in freedom."

What contrasts in tone does the writer of this story provide for the reader?
Quoting Eichmann and then quoting Schachter, who had drastically different views
Telling readers the title of the musical piece so they can hear the tune as they read
Reminding readers about the history of the World War II in this modern news article
Mentioning the need for therapy in times of trouble and fear for all kinds of people
