A few key insights from Chapter One:

  1. Author and narrator Eliezer Wiesel, who was 12 when the story begins in 1941, was a Jewish boy living with his family in a small town named Sighet, in what we now know as Romania.
  2. In 1942, during World War II, the local authorities decided to kick out all Jews who were foreign from Sighet. They were packed into trains and sent off. The other inhabitants of Sighet didn’t make much of it, though it should have been a warning for them.
  3. Months later, one of the foreign Jews, Moishe the Beadle, returned. He told the local Jews that he escaped as Nazi police took over the group and were doing atrocities to them. He warned them to leave the town, but they didn’t listen to him.
  4. Two years later, in 1944, the Nazis arrived in Sighet. Even then, the people did not make much of it - the soldiers seemed nice enough. They had no idea what awaited them.
