When he arrived at Auschwitz Eliezer encounters the historically infamous Dr. Mengele. He was a cruel doctor who presided over the selection of arrivals at Auschwitz / Birkenau. He was known as the angel of death he sentenced countless prisoners to death in the gas chambers ♥️

The correct answer is C) a man who is passive but speaks with Eliezer.

The contradictory image that Elie Wiesel provided in "Night" that best describes Dr. Mengele is a man who is passive but speaks with Eliezer.

Jewish Elie Wiesel wrote the book "Night," in 1958 to describes all the terror he lived with his father in the Nazi camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. He refers to dramatic moments when held was needed but was not reived even from his father. Wiesel continued writing his memories in the following books "Dawn" (1961) and "Day" (1962).

The other options of the question were A) a man who is brilliant but acts foolishly. B) a man who is ignorant but looks important. D) a man who is educated but cruel.
