NIGHT

  1. If Moishe the Beadle no longer cared to live, why then did he make the miraculous and harrowing journey back to Sighet to warn the other Jews?
  2. Having heard Moishe the Beadle’s various stories and claims in the Synagogue about his time in captivity by the Gestapo, what emotions or feelings do you think entered the Jews of Sighet upon seeing German Army vehicles moving about their streets?
  3. If you and your family were forcibly relocated from your homes, and you found out the night before, what would you put in your backpack?
  4. Would you have believed Moishe the Beadle’s claims of babies used as machine gun practice and Jews digging their own graves before being shot? why or why not?
