Moshe the Beadle was Eliezer's teacher of Jewish mysticism, Moshe is a poor Jew who lives in Sighet. He is deported before the rest of the Sighet Jews but escapes and returns to tell the town what the Nazis are doing to the Jews. Tragically, the community takes Moshe for a lunatic.
Why did the Nazis give the Jews so little time to prepare to move?
In most cases the Jews had days or weeks to prepare. For example the scene in the film 'Schindler's List' where the ghetto is cleared was made up for dramatic purposes, in reality they had many days' notice and the evacuation happened during the daytime. Towards the end of the Holocaust the deportation of Jews was a well practised procedure, with for example, those Jews deported from Hungary were deported in 90 days.
