The sole purpose of creating this novel was to discuss a topic no other historian has discussed before, because according to McGuire they have all been skipping over a topic that would change the view of the civil rights movement.

DiLorenzo, wrote this book to scavenge the documentary record in an attempt to show Lincoln as a revolutionary centralizer who used national sovereignty to establish corporate-mercantilist control at the expense of open economic liberty.

Americans consider Lincoln to be the greatest president in history. His legend as the greatest president has created hundreds of books, a national holiday, and a monument in Washington,
By the time they en figured out what hitler and the Nazis were doing it was to late to do anything because the Nazis had already established over 20,000 camps for the labor, transit, and extermination of the jews. The thought of being sent to one of those camps is enough to make any man pee his pants a little. I can’t imagine that the jews felt any differently. They knew more than anyone that any kind of revolt without help would pretty much be the annihilation of the jews who attempted, so they decided to avoid the Nazis as much as possible which is completely understandable most likely anyone in such a situation would react the same
However, Moishe the Beadle was deported when all foreign Jews were expelled and returns only after a few months. After returning, people thought that Moishe had turned crazy as he starts telling stories on how the Gestapo (secret German police) stole their train and took them into the woods to slaughter them. No one would believe him, including
When Moishe first warned the people of Sighet about what he saw, they refused to believe and listen to him. Moishe feels ignored when he goes from one Jewish house to the next, telling people what he saw and they don't listen and call him mad. He told people he saw babies getting tossed in the air and being used as a gun target, which was horrifying to even think about. People don’t believe Moishe the Beadle because what Moishe
The people of Sighet did not believe Moishe the Beadle. He warned them to escape while they could, but they did not listen; and a year later the Hungarian police led the Jews to their end.

No money. No pity. " —his words fell on deaf ears. The Jews dismissed Moishe as mad, refusing to heed his warnings. Tragically, Moishe's premonitions were realized when the Germans invaded Sighet, leading to the mass extermination of his community.
At first the Germans were kind to the townspeople and shared pleasantries with them. Soon though the Jews of Sighet were told that they must wear the yellow star of David to identify them as Jews. Once identified the Germans pushed for the Jews to be brought into ghettos leaving their homes behind. For a while the Jews stayed in the ghettos with little idea as to what would follow. In may of 1944 German officers came to Jewish ghettos and began the process of loading people into cattle cars to be taken to concentration camps.
The Hungarian police arrived and began by building up trust. After a few days, they clamped down on the Jews of Sighet by taking valuables, arresting leaders of the church, and closing down shops and synagogues kind of like how one would catch a cat that got loose. Tread lightly towards it to build trust, then burst out and snatch it in one swift motion. All the Jews were moved into ghettos and made to leave to camps. The police did not tell the Jews how atrocious the camps were because the Jews did not deserve to know.
