Inhumanity to Other Humans

In the Holocaust the Germans at first were very polite to the Jews and reassuring them. As time went on the Germans began to be very brutal and cruel to the Jews. Elie first experiences this in the concentration camps where the victims of the Holocaust were basically walking skeletons. This shows that innocent people can be victims of an outrage. Millions of Jews were slaughtered because of their beliefs. Being kept in the camps for so long the victims began to turn on each other. Fathers and sons killing each other for a morsel of bread crumbs. Elie didn't know how to really handle this situation, but he to was also changing.
