Elie met Moishe the
Beetle in 1941. Moishe the Beetle was a poor foreign Jew. He did not get in people's ways so everyone liked him. Elie was always interested in Moishe the Beetle. They were friend due to the fact that he taught him the Kabbalah. Elie's father was a well respected man in the Jewish Community. One day the Hungarian police came to deport all the foreign Jews. A few days pasted and Moishe came back with a warning. He warned about the Hungarian police. He told the town of what happened to him. He said how they made them to dig big trenches and a lot of them were shot and/or left to die. Moishe survived and crawled back to warn them because he was only shot in the leg. He warned them that the Hungarian police were coming and they must be prepared. No one believed him; they all thought he was crazy. Everyone but Elie. Elie tried to warn his father and wished to move to Palestine but he said that he was too old to start over. In the spring of 1944, they quickly learned that the German troops were coming closer to Sighet. When they did come, all the Jews were forced to wear a yellow star everywhere they went. All the Jews thought it was no big deal. Their life went back to normal. Soon they had to give up all their valuable possessions and forced into the ghetto. Soon they still thought that their life went back to normal. they thought that it was a good thing that they were forced into the ghetto, now they were all together and the Germans don’t have to give them weird looks every time they passed by. Rumors started to fly around. People were saying that they will be forced to work in factories. No one believed it. Elie’s father was sent to a very important meeting. He came back with a grave look on his face. He told everyone to pack up and get ready for tomorrow. He did not say anything about what was happening. Soon German soldiers came and arrested all the Jews and were forced to line up in a line outside. A lot of the Jews were then forced into the cattle cars to be taken to the camp. Nothing happened that day; they were just forced to stand in a straight line for the whole entire day. Every few hours they would take roll call. By the end of the day, they went back to their homes. A few days pasted and nothing happened. Finally one day they were told to run/ walk. No one complained. They walked to the next ghetto, the smaller ghetto. They stayed there for another few days until they were forced to aboard the cattle cars.
