1. Dehumanization is the act of depriving the behavior and normal qualities of a human to a more brutal and immoral personality.
Quote: "This was Franek's chance to torment my father and to thrash him every day."
2. After suffering so much in the concentration camps, many of the prisoners begin to act angry and hostile to one another. The prisoners originally were scared and worried a lot for their lives, trying to show they are capable of work and making sure they survive. Some of the prisoners, notably the ones who were in charge of commanding a group of laborers, went from being humane and kind to laborers to harsher and angrier as time passed, as if the power they had had made them greedy and selfish.
Quote: "Franek burst into wild laugher. 'I knew it, I knew quite well I would win. Better late than never.'"
3. Eliezer noticed the behavior noted by the prisoners who were in charge of a group and others suffering, and became disappointed in them than pitying them. When he saw one of the prisoners beat his dad, he was more upset toward his father for not knowing how to defend himself rather than being angry at the attacker.
Quote: "I had watched the whole scene without moving. I kept quiet... any anger I felt at that moment was directed, not against the Kapo, but against my father. I was angry with him, for not knowing how to avoid Idek's outbreak."
