Eliezer is appalled by the human depth of depravity and capacity for evil‚ his own included. Within the story there seems to be an emphasis on how inhumanity begets inhumanity. Seeing the Jews as inhuman‚ the Nazis cruelly treat them as animals‚ in turn producing cruel and animalistic behavior among the
