Moshe the beadle was an extremely poor member of the community in which Elie Wiesel lived. The townspeople usually did not like the poor but Moshe was an exception. He was shy, kept to himself, and could be heard singing sometimes. Elie's father was seen as a leader of the community, but did not pay much attention to his family.
Moshe the beadle was important to Elie because he helped Elie study the Kabbalah. He became Elie's teacher of the Jewish faith.
Upon his return from deportation, Moshe tells about what happened to other deportees. He says that dug huge trenches and all of the Jews were executed. Babies were thrown into the air and shot for practice.
He returns to Sighet to warn the Jewish people so they can save themselves.
The book starts in the year 1941 in Sighet, Hungary. The Nazi party was in power and taking over various parts of Europe. They had begun to exterminate the Jewish population and others they deemed unfit.
In 1944, the Germans entered Hungary. On the seventh day of Passover the Germans began arresting the Jewish leaders and instituting various laws that restricted members of the Jewish community. All Jewish valuables were confiscated. Then the Jews were rounded up into two ghettos. The ghettos were slowly liquidated as the Germans put the Jews on transports. After the first ghetto was emptied, Wiesel and his family was made to move into it before being put on transports themselves. Elie hated the hungarian police for their brutality and allowing the Germans to take over. Martha was the family's maid. She offered to help them escape but no one wanted to split up the family.

The pun in Hamlet's statement "This man shall set me packing" is 'packing'. 'Packing' can mean go away, and Hamlet is referring to the fact that he has to flee because he killed a man.

I hope this helps! Can I have Brainliest, please? :)
