Moishe the Beadle,
a homeless foreign Jew, had warned Elie Wiesel and the rest of the Jewish
community about the Germans. He was deported and shot in the leg, but survived
because they assumed he was dead. Elie and him were really good friends, Moishe
was like his instructor and taught him about Kabbalah. Moishe didn’t want Elie or
his community to get hurt, which is why he wanted them to open their eyes so
that they knew what to expect from the Germans. Unfortunately, they considered
him insane and decided to not believe him. They did wrongly because the Germans
had began to treat them unfairly by making them wear the yellow star, give in
all of their valuable possessions, weren't allowed to do certain things, and
forced to live in the ghetto. They thought they didn’t have to worry since they
were among their families, other Jewish people. After a few days, they were
obligated to walk hours, without any water, to the station. They had realized
that the situation was bad when they were placed in cattle wagons, reflecting
back on the warnings of Moishe the Beadle.
