Critical Stance:  Wiesel chronicles the gradual dehumanization of the prisoners.  

1. A) Dehumanization:  is the psychological process of demonizing the enemy, making them seem less than human and hence not worthy of humane treatment. This can lead to increased violence, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.
