In elie wiesel's night, before the jews of sighet are deported to concentration camps, they are forced to move into a ghetto that the germans have built.
why do some of the jews think the move will be an improvement?
their previous homes were in such poor condition that they can't imagine anything worse.
the water supply in the ghetto will be cleaner than that in their old neighborhood.
in the ghetto, they will not have to endure the hostile stares of non-jewish neighbors.
they have been told that the move to the ghetto will only be temporary and they will soon return to their homes.
