Wiesel mentions the time he walked past his Kapo when he was mad. Elie ended up getting beat terribly. “He threw himself on me like a wild beast… crushing me with ever more violent blows… he continued to beat me harder.” (Wiesel, page 53). The prisoners not only were beat half to death, but also starved and never got enough to eat. They would go to sleep starving, wishing for just one more piece of bread. One prisoner was hung because he tried to sneak up to the bowls of soup and get more. “… the hangman put the rope around his neck.” German soldiers and Kapos treated the prisoners in the camp as if they weren’t human. Both article four and five were violated in Night. Altogether, what Hitler did to Jews was wrong and nothing like that should have ever happened in the first place. Both of these articles go together like a puzzle. Because the Germans enslaved the Jews (and others), that gave them more of an opportunity to degrade the prisoners held inside the camp. Since the Jews were held inside the camp, the Germans had more of an advantage, considering they took everything away from the prisoners. The Germans, then, were able to weaken the slaves and eventually kill
