What was the public reaction to Moshe's story in Night?

In the book Night Moshe the Beadle has always been well liked by the people in the community.  Moshe had talked long hours with Elie about the cabala and faith.  One day he is forced to leave Signet because he is a foreign Jew.


Moshe is forced onto a cattle car  by the Hungarian police.  After several months Moshe returned to Signet.  Elie sees him sitting on a bench.  Moshe tells Eli that he had been taken across the border and the Gestapo was there.


The Jews Hd been put into lorries and driven into the forest.  They were forced to dig huge graves and then were slaughtered and kicked into the graves.  Even infants were tossed into the air and shot. He had escaped and returned to warn the others.  Moshe had lost all sense of hope.  He had no more joy in him.  The people did not believe him and thought he was just crazy.  Moshe feels that he was saved to warn the people.
