    When all the foreign Jews were expelled from Sighet, Moishe the Beadle was among them. After pretending to be dead among a number of Jews being left for dead among many Jews who had been shot, Moishe returns to Sighet. There he tries to warn the towns citizens of the atrocities he has seen. He tries to warn them of the horrific deeds being done, and tells them of the mass graves they were forced to dig. Knowing what was in store, Moishe desperately tried to convince the town's people to heed the evil that was rearing its ugly head and take steps to avoid tragedy, but most people were more content to think he was crazy rather than believe that true evil could taint the existence.
