They at last took notice of my surprise; and one of them, willing to increase it, as well as to gratify my curiosity, made me one day look through it.

Then she complained that one of his black hairs was in her cup, but the hair was actually blonde like her own.

Explanation:
The people of Sighet, like many Jewish people in Europe at the time, are naive and unable to believe the atrocities being committed by the Nazis.
When Moshe returns to Sighet and tells everyone about what he experienced, they are unable to believe him. Instead of believing him, the people of Sighet say he is crazy. If they were to believe him, they would have to admit the fact they were in danger as well. They do not believe until it is far too late to leave.
