"Who in their right mind, would want to disturb our peaceful little community. I have always loved it here in Sighet, and now that all of this comotion has aroused from the stories of Moshe the beatle and his encounter with mass murders. Deaths of adults, elders, children, and if these stories are in fact a reality, what they have been doing to the infants. Using them as targets, it is absoluty obsurd, these manslaughters are no brothers of mine. Eliezer, my son is convinced that these tales, are true and would like to leave from here, our home. I belive that these far-fenched stories all are hogwash, and are nothing but lies, designed to draw the attention of our comminity to one person."

They are occupying our nieghbors house just down the road, one of my friends refused to give up his house and was killed on the very spot.

Us me worked to try to reapir the damaged homes. two weeks had gone by and still the same daily routine. eventually people started travleing between the ghettos every day. to see their relatives or friends,or even just to get away from it all. Being on the "board" i was up to date on the war and the jewish camps. every other might. Ten or so of us would get together and talk about solutions or how we might overcome this. then one night one of my friends, a hungarian police, told me some news that i will never forget. Tomorrow we were to begin transporting people out of the ghettos and transporting themto concentration camps around the european countries. days went by and I saw thousands of my friends for the last time. My family and i were among the last to be deported out of the ghettosand onto the trains.
