Moishe is trying to tell people about what happened to him, and what is in store for them, at the hands of the Nazis. This is in chapter 1.

Moishe has been tortured by the Nazis.

Moishe says his spirit and soul were killed.

This is an important sense of foreshadowing that the complacent Jews in Sighet refused to heed.
