"Night. No one prayed, so that the night would pass quickly. The stars were only sparks of the fire would devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes. There was nothing else to do but get into bed, in the beds of the absent ones; to rest, to gather, one's strength".

Chapter 1

Overview

Chapter 1: Wiesel grew up in Sighet, a small town in Translyvania. He is a strict Orthodox Jew who is tutored by Moishe the Beadle. When all foreign Jews are expelled, Moishe is deported. He returns to Sighet with horrific tales. Nobody believes him.


Fascists gain control in Hungary and allow the Nazis to come. The Jews of Sighet remain in denial that anything bad will happen to them. Days later the town is ordered to evacuate. Eliezer's family is part of the last group. Their former Gentile servant, Maria, warns them of impending danger and offers them a place of refuge. They refuse.
