Answer: He was not originally from Sighet, and Jews who were foreigners

Explanation: In "Night" by Elie Wiesel, the narrator states that Moishe the Beadle was forced to leave Sighet by Hungarian police because he was not originally from Sighet, and Jews who were foreigners were the first Jews deported. All the foreign Jews were "crammed into cattle cars" by the Hungarian police. Moishe the Beadle was the man who spoke to him for hours about the revelations and mysteries of the Kabbalah, beginning the narrator's initiation.
