ume. Lire? I no longer care to live. I am alone. But I wanted to come back to
warn you. Only no one is listening to me..."
the secret state police in Nazi Germany
From Elie Wiesel, Night. Copyright 1960 by Elie Wiesel, translation by Marion Wiesel
What is the most likely reason that Moishe keeps repeating the stories of Malka and Tobie to
different people in Sighet?
He thinks that people will be more sympathetic to his own situation if they
know how others were also affected.
He hopes that telling these stories will help him to reconnect with the people
of Sighet after his long absence.
He is heartbroken over the deaths of Malka and Tobie and seeks to keep their
spirits alive by sharing their stories.
He wants the Jews in Sighet to understand that what happened to Malka and
Tobie could soon happen to them.
