When Moshe the Beadle came back from deportation, he told the Jews stories of what had happened. He told them of how babies were thrown in the air and used as targets for machine gunners while other small children were burned. However, nobody believed anything he said and everyone figured he had just gone mad. About a year later, when German officers came to their town saying that the Jews were going to be relocated, everyone thought they were just being sent somewhere to work in factories. Jews were placed on a train and relocated. On that train ride, many believed that they were going to some place better and only young men had to work in the factories. They thought that their families would not be seperated and
"Babies were thrown into the air and machine gunners used them as target"
This quote shows how brutal the Germans treated the foreign Jews. This proves how inhumane German soldiers were and that they would stop at nothing to get rid of all the Jews.
"The Germans were already in town, the Fascists were already in power, the verdict had already been pronounced, yet the Jews of Sighet continued to smile."
Although the Germans were deporting Jews, they still managed to be optimistic about the situation.
"But people not only refused to believe his tales, they refused to listen. Some even insinuated that he only wanted their pity, that he was imagining things. Others flatly said that he had gone mad."
When Moshe the Beadle was trying to warn the Jews, nobody believed him. The tales he was telling was too horrific that nobody would dare to believe him.
“Jews, listen to me! I can see a fire! There are huge flames! It is a furnace!‘ It was as though she were possessed by an evil spirit which spoke from the depths of her being.”
This is an important quote to the story because the madame was seeing all these images, but no one believed her. Then, as they arrived on the camp site, her dreams became their nightmare.
"From that moment on, everything happened quickly. The race towards death had begun."
The Jews knew that as they were being deported, they were sure to be killed soon. Of all the horrific tales they heard, no one believed it until the Jews saw it for themselves. The Germans forced the Jews to run and do all kinds of things and that the believed was the race towards death.
