These men and women were called Kapos, and the subject of this lesson, a man named Idek, is one of the Kapos in Elie Wiesel's work Night.

Idek is the Kapo of Eliezer the narrator's Kommando, or work squad, at Buna, the concentration camp that was part of Auschwitz in Poland. Idek is overall not too terrible to have in charge, but he is prone to fits of madness and extreme, violent anger. While he's in these fits, he acts with startling violence, although it's clear these episodes of cruelty are never planned.
