Confusing Vocabulary:None
What Happened: You have the beginning of the story talking about the narrator’s life before the nazis came when the Elie was a talented jewish boy who was learning the Kabbalah under the tutelage of the town’s poor person, Moshie the Beadle, who was randomly taken by the hungarian police but managed to return and tell everyone about the horrors he witnessed and that the town needed to evacuate; but, no one believed him.Then the nazis came and poured the people into the ghettos and the part ends with them boarding the train to Auschwitz Questions/Thoughts: I think that this story hits its stride when you take it less about the holocaust as much as you take it about an allegory for human cruelty and survival above all else, and as such this part sets it up for the fall, but is ultimately for the most part unnecessary from the main themes and could be trimmed down at least slightly.
