Option 3:
*THEY CALLED HIM Moishe the Beadle… He was the jack-of-
all-trades … The Jews of Sighet—the little town in Transylvania …were fond of
him. He was poor …As a rule, our townspeople, while they did help the needy,
did not particularly like them. Moishe the Beadle was the exception. He stayed
out of people's way. His presence bothered no one. …
…I met him in 1941. I was almost thirteen
Day after day, night after night, he went from one Jewish
house to the next, telling his story and that of Malka, the young girl who lay
dying for three days, and that of Tobie, the tailor who begged to die before
his sons were killed.
Moishe was not the same. The joy in his eyes was gone. He no
longer sang. … He spoke only of what he had seen. But people not only refused
to believe his tales, they refused to listen. Some even insinuated that … that
he was imagining things. Others flatly said that he had gone mad.
As for Moishe, he wept and pleaded:
"Jews, listen to me! That's all I ask of you. No money.
No pity. Just listen to me!" …
