What are some incidents or foreshadow the coming danger to the sighet jews? Why doesn't the community belive in this danger?this quiestion is from...

Aside from Moshe the Beadle's stories (which is the
biggest example and goes mostly ignored by everyone), there are a few other things that
happened before the town was shipped off to concentration camps.  It is important to
note that all the while, by following directions and listening to orders they BELIEVED
they would be ok.


First, people were moved out of their
houses and relocated block by block to other houses.  This new organization of people
was of course known as the "ghettos."   The synagogue was closed down and they were
forced to worship privately or in their homes.  They had to hand over their valuables
(and many burried personal items).


Ironically, through all
of these signs, Wiesel is pretty clear that the enormity of the situation didn't hit
most of them until they were packed into cattle cars and shipped off by the
100s.
