Night starts out as a peaceful story of a Jewish community in Sighet, but eventually turns into a horrilbe nightmare. Elie is a young boy living in Sighet and he meets a man nicknamed Moshe de Beadle and befriends him. Moshe de Beadle prays with Elie and teaches him about religion.
Later, police come and kick out all foreign Jews, and Moshe de Beadle is one. He is taking out and was forced to build drenches for the German army with many other people. After he was done, everyone was shot but Moshe managed to escape and get back to Sighet. He tried to warn everyone that danger was coming but no one would listen to him. The German army took over Elie's town and at first seemed very nice. Eventually, they forced Elie and many other out of their homes and pushed them into the little ghetto.
They were not allowed to take any valuable possesions and had to wear the yellow star of David on their shirts so the Germans knew they were Jewish. They were then transported out of the little ghetto in little caravans full of eighty people. The Germans assigned someone leader and if anyone escaped they were shot. They had no clue they were going but wherever it was it wasnt good.
