In Chapter 3, Elie's father is slapped by a Gypsy kapo, "“Then, as if waking from a deep sleep, he slapped my father with such force that he fell down and then crawled back to his place on all fours. I stood petrified. What had happened to me? My father had just been struck, in front of me, and I had not even blinked. I had watched and kept silent. Only yesterday, I would have dug my nails into this criminal's flesh. Had I changed that much? So fast? Remorse began to gnaw at me.” (Wiesel, E. Night, PDF page 64) How does the scene of Elie’s father being slapped represent both a process and a symptom of dehumanization?
