The Jews of Sighet, a town in Transylvania, were taken to various concentration camps during the Holocaust. Initially, they were forced into ghettos, and in May 1944, they were deported to Auschwitz and other camps. Many were subjected to inhumane conditions, and a significant portion did not survive the brutal treatment and mass killings that occurred there. The deportation of the Sighet Jews is notably depicted in Elie Wiesel's memoir, "Night."
