The Germans dehumanize the Jews in just about everything they do. All the Jews are stuffed into cattle cars on their way to the concentration camps. they are treating the Jews like animals. When they arrive at the camps the Jews are stripped of everything they own or anything of value. they are forced to take off their clothes, even their underwear, they are given clothes identical to each other. A barber shaves their heads identical to each other, and are given a tattoo which says a number that is their new name. The Kapos throw babies up into the air and use them as target practice. The Jews aren't getting fed enough so by the end of the book they are killing each other for food. a child kills his own father for another serving of bread, but after the Kapos kill him. While Elie's father is in his bunk his neighbors start to beat him up and during the night they steal his portion of soup and bread. Another example is when every one is marching and a child starts to march faster to get away from his father. Then later the father comes in looking for his child. Every one is starting to turn against each other. Now it is one man for himself. The Germans Dehumanize the Jews with just about every thing they do.
