In the first three chapters of Night, Wiesel describes how his community denied the possibility that the expansion of Hitler's power and its impact on the rest of Europe would ever reach them. Using the Text Editor, identify at least two places in the text where it was made clear that the people of his town ignored the signs of the danger they faced. Then, answer the following questions: Why do you think the people in the town chose not to worry about the potential for danger? Why did they remain compliant through the process of relocation and even stop a rebellion that some wanted to begin when they left the train cars?
Have there been any times in your own life when you knew you faced danger but did not change directions? If so, what was the reason?
