• Four times in the novel, Elie Wiesel describes times he and his family might have been
saved, had they made a different decision.
I . First, Moshe the Beadle tried to convince the Jews of Singhet to flee from the
coming persecution, but no one listened to him.
Then, Elie tried to convince his father to sell the business and emigrate to
Palestine.
Later, the Wiesel family refused the safe refuge offered by their former servant,
Martha.
o When Elie and his father were given the choice to stay at the camp hospital or be
evacuated with the other prisoners, they chose to stay with the others.

to make the opposite decision of the one they made.
