They do not seem worried about the Germans

Explanation:

Jewish community appears to have filled themselves up with false optimism and thereby ignoring the real threats that lie ahead of them. The news of the arrival of Germans spread like a wildfire and it became the talk of the town.  

The Jewish community relieved themselves with their sense of optimism that it would be highly improbable of Germans to come to Sighet. Instead, they were expected to remain in Budapest strategically for political reasons.

This whole act of theirs signifies that Jews were intentionally ignoring the real German threat and displaying ignorance.
