"Idek's nerves were on edge. He was restraining himself with great difficulty. Suddelty, his frenzy broke out. The victim was my father. You lazy devil! Idk began to yell. Do you call that work? And he began to beat him with an iron bar."
Being in a concentration camp and being forced to do work with little sleep, food, water, and freedom puts people into a crazy stage of mind. Leading up to people like Idek to get angry and explode with no reason. For most people their humane minds escaped them and often led to outbreaks of uncontrollable rages.
"Poor hero, committing suicide for a ration of soup!"
The blocks were on a lockdown because of approaching bombers. But by the cauldrons there was soup, two hot half full pots. Since you weren't fed very much in the concentration camps, many went delirious, by risking their lives for a sip of something so little as soup.
"Long live liberty! A curse upon Germany! A curse! A cur–the executioners had completed their task"
Not only did Elizier witness this but all the prisoners did. The man who was executed was the man who stole soup during the alert. Showing the extent that people in the camps went to for food. Even it meant death in this case.
