Night First Post

Monica, as I am reading Night I can't stop thinking about one thing. Some Jewish people could have tried to avoid the holocaust, and that could have easily happened in the town of Sighet. After the Hungarians banned all foreign Jews, Eliezer's mentor Moshe the Beadle gets taken away. And when he comes back he told everyone about what was happening. About the terror and the chaos that was happening in the place where they took him. But no one believed, Monica. What would have happened if they did believe him? Could they have escaped? They just called him a lunatic. A lot of people could have avoided death if they just listened to him. I feel bad for Moshe. Just because he wasn't as well of as a lot of people in his city people looked down upon him. Even when he was trying to help. What do you think Monica? Do you think that the Jews in Sighet could possibly have avoided the holocaust? I just have this feeling that it could have been avoided for some people.
When the Gestapo comes to Sighet, it reminds me of the Indians in South Africa and how they had to have ideas with them at all times. Except him the Jews place they had to wear yellow starts to identify who they were. This is discriminating against their religion. It's what we have seen all throughout history. But, Hitler was always being racist toward people. If they didn't have the blonde hair and yellow eyes he considered them not perfect. It's interesting at what lengths the Hungarian government went to keep the Jews under control. They even separated Jews from the rest of the population of the cities, putting them in the Ghettos (Holocaust).
Reading this book is just sad. We all know what is going to happen, but Elie's family seems to almost not be concerned.
