Pg. 101 "Meir, my little Meir! Do not you recognize me ... You are killing your father... I have bread...for you too ... for you too... " He collapsed. But his fist was still clutching a small crust. He wanted to raise it to his mouth. But the other threw himself on him. The old man mumbled something, groaned, and died. Nobody cared. His son searched him, took the crust of bread, and began to devour it.” This shows how starving people killed each other for scraps of food because their humanity was stolen.
"Keep her quiet! Make that madwoman shut up. She's not the only one here... "She received several blows to the head, blows that could have been lethal. Her son was clinging desperately to her, not uttering a word. He was no longer crying." This shows in the cattle car on the way to Auschwitz, people strike a woman to keep her quiet, something they would never have done in the village.
"Eliezer...Eliezer...tell them not to beat me... I haven't done anything...Why are they beating me?" I began to insult his neighbors. They mocked me. I promised them bread, soup. They laughed. Then they got angry; they could not stand my father any longer, they said, because he no longer was able to drag himself outside to relieve himself. This shows how they beat up Eliezer's father just because he smelled bad.
