chapter 4,

When the camp is being bombed, Elie first thinks gleefully of the German factory going up in flames, but after the inmates learn the « depot was not touched, » they go « cheerfully » to clear the ruins. Why is Elie happy ? how does this reflect the Jews’ attitude toward revenge while in the camps ?

The men are happy at the devatation caused by the bombs because the presence of American planes gave them hope. The Jews desire for revenge was very simple, and they found it in the "fear" that replaced superiority in the chief Kapo's face.
