In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, many of the Jewish prisoners in the concentration camp at Sighet were in a state of shock and disbelief about the atrocities they were facing. The Nazis instilled fear and control, making escape attempts dangerous and often futile. Additionally, the prisoners were malnourished, weak, and lacked resources to plan and execute a successful escape.
There were two ghettos in Sighet (in Night).
Sighet is a town in Transylvania, Romania, where Elie Wiesel, the author of the book "Night," was born. It is also where Wiesel and his family were living when they were deported to Auschwitz during the Holocaust. Sighet is a significant setting in the book, as it represents the loss of innocence and the beginning of Wiesel's harrowing journey through the concentration camps.
Eliezer's family is deported from Sighet on the eve of Pentecost, which falls on May 20, 1944.
