Quote:
"Moshe had changed. There was no longer any joy in his eyes. He no longer sang. He no longer talked to me of God or of the cabbala, but only of what he had seen. People refused not only to believe his stories, but even listen to them."

People are mainly concerned with what happens to them or where they are, so if someone says something bad is going on somewhere else, they don't really care or think much about it because it's not happening to them. Moshe has experienced what it's like with the German's, and is trying to warn the town that he went to school, but nobody will listen to him because they don't think anything bad will happen to them. They think that Moshe is crazy. They want to believe that everything is happy and okay, but it's not, bad things are going to happen to them, they just don't know it.
