How did Sighet Jews know about the Holocaust before their deportation?
Having examined the situation in Sighet during the lead up to deportations I believe I may be able to provide you with the following information. During world war two, about a year or two before Germany took over Hungary, the men were sent to labour camps. Families would hear back from them through letters which were moderated and at some point afterwards they would stop receiving any mail. News of the war itself was broadcast over the radio, but the holocaust itself in the context of "extermination" was to some extent held from the public. Restrictions in Sighet were subtle; First jews had to wear a star and were not allowed to work in certain professions. Then, they were not entitled to own business or property. Then a curfew. Finally, when the germans arrived, they were displaced. To answer your question, the general expectations of the jews in Sighet were that they were going to endure "forced labour". They believed that they were going to be put to work and assist in the war. In the leadup...there were rumours about the concentration camp. But nobody was sure if this would affect hungary's jews; the germans were losing the war by this time and most were hoping to be liberated before the germans arrived. They were displaced into ghettos, and then deported. Auschwitz could not have been imagined... They did not know is your answer. It was rumoured, but not many escaped to tell the story (few did) they were expecting a labour camp being women and children...the inhumanity was not comprehended nor expected.

What was a ghetto in World War II?
In the German-held occupation territories in World War Two, especially in Poland, ghettos were formed in the cities. A ghetto was a closed and guarded neighborhood within the city, into which the Jews were forcefully relocated and registered. These neighborhoods or "ghettos" were basically an urban form of a prison in which Jews were disallowed free movement, commerce or basic civil rights. The ghettos were severely overcrowded and lacked in basic supplies and services that people need. They were intended by the German occupation forces as a place to warehouse a very large number of Jewish people until they got around to making "selektions" or "aktions"on the town squares, in which large numbers of Jewish people were mandatorily chosen for liquidation, and forced onto railcars bound for the death camps that were set up by the Germans. Or murdered on-site, in the case of "aktions." Probably the largest and most famous ghetto was in Warsaw, Poland.
