Night by Elie Wiesel Final TEST

Which sentence does not describe Moshe the Beadle?

• He worked at the Hasidic synagogue.

• He was able to make himself seem insignificant, almost invisible.

• He became Elie’s cabbalist and instructed him on the mystical aspects of the Jewish faith.

• He was Aryan, not Jewish.

What did Moshe the Beadle tell the people on his return from being deported?

• The foreign Jews were made to dig coal to fill the large furnaces.

• The foreign Jews were shot and dumped into large mass graves.

• The foreign Jews were sent on a boat to Palestine.

• The foreign Jews who had money were able to buy their freedom.

Why was Moshe’s warning significant for what we, as an audience, knows will be coming historically for the Jews?

• This is significant because all the Jews will soon be rounded up in an attempt to wipe out the entire race, so this warning could have prepared them to either run or defend themselves.

• This is significant because Palestine actually does not exist and is a trick to get the Jews out of their country.

• This is significant because all the Jews will be praised by Hitler in the future and leaving the country was foolish for the foreigners.

• This is significant because Moshe distorts the truth and this reveals just how extreme his stories can be. To scare his fellow villagers was a thrill for him.

Many of the people believed Moshe's story and prepared to leave Sighet.

• True

• False

When Elie and his father first arrived at their 1st camp destination, they were told not to tell their real ages because of fear of death. What ages were they told to use?

• 10 and 32

• 16 and 45

• 18 and 45

• 18 and 40

Why was it significant that the prisoners should be between certain age groups?

• This was because the younger you were, the safer you were because the SS could train children to believe in their indoctrinations and only young fathers were kept to care for the children.

• This was because the older you were the better, since the camps valued wisdom and maturity.

• This was because the SS valued hard labor in the camps, so if you were too old or too young, then you weren’t worth keeping around as a manual laborer.

• This was significant because the scientist were looking for targeted age groups to complete their studies on genetics.

What was the importance of the # A-7713?

• the barrack’s number where Elie was assigned to sleep.

• the prisoner number tattooed on Elie’s forearm to identify him.

• the warehouse Elie was assigned to work for a 2 year span.

• the number of the cattle car on the train that transported the Jews.

A typical command the prisoners would have heard as they arrived at their camp destinations was:

• “Line up!”

• “Form fives!”

• “Sit down!”

• “Show your identification papers, please!”
