Respuesta :

It has been a while since I have read the book, but I think 1 is correct. They don't even realise how bad the camps are and they willingly comply to the Nazis

Answer:1) They view the atrocities as having occurred to strangers in a faraway places and so fail to see how they will affect Sighet

Explanation:

Wiesel, the author of "Night" explains that about two thousand Jews could escape from the concentration camps. Elie mentions Moishe the Beadle as an example of it and he says that Moishe tried to inform the Jews of Sighet of what he had experienced but people refused to listento him and they did nor believe him. They did not want to see the reality of what was happening.
