example from the book that he thinks the ones in charge of camp as acting like animals and why
At one point Elie catches Idek ,the Kapo, having sex with a Polish girl (probably raping her). Idek is angry for being seen and takes his wrath out on Elie,
"A-7713!"
I stepped forward.
"A crate!" he ordered.
They brought a crate.
"Lie down on it! On your belly!"
I obeyed.
I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip.
[…]
"Twenty-four…twenty-five!"
It was over. I had not realized it, but I had fainted. I came to when they doused me with cold water. I was still lying on the crate. In a blur, I could see the wet ground next to me. Then I heard someone yell. It had to be the Kapo. I began to distinguish what he was shouting:
"Stand up!"
