What event led to the two hangings Wiesel describes?

Answer 1

The first hanging was for a man who stole from the Germans during an air raid at the camp. He was sentenced to death. The narrator commented that the supper that night tasted better than it ever had been. The next hanging explained was three people. Two of which were men and the last was only a child. As the men cried resistance with their last few breaths, the boy remained silent. When the executioners pulled the floor from under them, the men were dead within seconds. The boy though wasn't heavy enough to die as quickly. He stayed hung there, gasping for breath. The dinner that night tasted of corpses. Both reactions to these hangings are very different. I think that what it says is that after watching the first hanging, he finds himself lucky to be alive, but after watching the child's deathbed, he thinks that there comes a time when the Germans have crossed the line and he is disgusted.
