When the foreign
Jews, including Moishe the Beadle, were being deported, someone quipped that the situation was
necessitated by war. The statement is ironic because despite being aware that the Jews were
being targeted, those left in Sighet believed they were safe and took no measures to address the
situation.
Behind me, someone said, sighing, "What do
you expect? That's war"
Theis evident when Mrs.
Schachter keeps screaming that she sees a fire until she is brutally attacked by the other
passengers. One of the passengers reports the incident to a German soldier and insists that the
lady needs a hospital. The officer suggests that she will soon be taken there. The event is
ironic because the German officer does not intend to offer any medical assistance since he is
aware that death awaits most of the passengers.
"Patience," the German replied, "patience. She'll be taken there
soon."
