One of the first and most important themes that came across the book was when Mosihe the Beadle returned from Passover in Budapest.

ultimately loses it. ​ At the beginning of the story while living in Sighet, Eli has a strong belief in God and he worships him. For example, Elie befriended Moishe the Beadle who is trying to teach him everything he knows about God. Eli mentions how he and Moishe would spend hours talking about God. Eli says, "And Moishe the Beadle...spoke to me for hours on end about the Kabbalah's revelations and it's mysteries"(pg 5).

Moshe was the first to start to grow Elie in his faith. Through Moshe, Elie saw himself. Elie was challenged by Moshe and was forced to dig deeper into the Cabbala.

The Holocaust was a very traumatic event in history. Every year in school from about middle school onward students learn specifically about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party’s cruel treatment of the Jewish culture and people during World War II. The same general knowledge is given to us from middle school up until the ending our high school history careers. We are taught to believe that Adolf Hitler was a corrupt man, who sought control of Germany in the 1930’s. Even though we are given background

In the beginning of the book, the secondary character, Moishe the Beadle uses his experiences with the Nazi party to warn the people of Sighet what will happen to them.
