BETRAYAL, Jennifer Hernandez-1 & Kasandra Garcia-2

    In Night, Moishe the Beadle, a foreign jew, was introduced as shy and made people smile. He was aware of what was going on. Him and Elie Wiesel were really good friends due to the fact that Moishe taught him about Kabbalah. In this chapter, Moishe got deported, when he came back he warned everyone in Sighet about the Germans arriving soon and they must be prepared. People didn't believe him because they thought he was crazy. At first people thought it wasn't so bad that they were forced to wear the yellow star, do certain things, and were sent to the ghetto. They usually asked for advice on public/private matters to Elie's father. He was a highly respected man who was always involved in the welfare of others. So when they were sent to the ghetto, Elie's father said it wasnt such a big deal. They were practically dragged out of their homes and forced to give the Hungarian police all of their valuable possessions. The Hungarian police tried gaining their trust, which is why the Jewish people weren't worried about moving to another location where they were among other Jewish families.
    After a while, life went back to normal for Elie and the other Jews. While in the ghetto, Maria, a former maid of the Wiesel family, begged them to go with her to her village where she had prepared a safe shelter for them. With pride, Elie's father ignored her and rejected the offer. Days went by, suddenly one day they were all forced to leave their belongings behind and leave the small ghetto, there was going to be "transports." They walked long hours without food nor water to the main synagogue, which was abandoned and destroyed. The next day they walked towards a station, where a convoy of cattle cars was waiting for them. They were placed in there and treated like animals because cattle cars are used to transport cows. This is when they realized that they should have listened to the warnings that Moishe the Beadle had mentioned.
