In elie wiesel's night, before the jews of sighet are deported to concentration camps, they are forced to move into a ghetto that the germans have built.

why do some of the jews think the move will be an improvement?

the ghetto will be administered by a jewish council and police.

most of them are unworldly people who do not understand what a ghetto is.

their previous experience of ghettos, while unpleasant, has not been fatal.

they have heard rumors that they will later be moved from the ghetto to a new colony in palestine.
