SHORT ANSWER QUESTION
Minimum 4-5 Sentences

Why don’t the Jews listen to the warnings of the danger to come? What explains their ignorant optimism? 
They didn't believe it because they thought that they wouldn't be effected. Nothing bad had happened so they thought they were safe from it. They only wanted to hear good news not news from a crazy guy on the street. They also thought good news was going to come from the meeting Elie's dad was invited to.
