The purpose of the selection process in the camps during the Holocaust was to separate individuals deemed fit to work from those deemed unfit. This often meant deciding who would be sent to gas chambers or face immediate execution, and who would be kept alive for forced labor. It was a brutal method of dehumanization and control by the Nazis.

"Merciless selection" refers to the process during the Holocaust where SS officers would select which prisoners were fit to work and which would be sent to the gas chambers. This dehumanizing practice would often separate families and lead to the immediate execution of those deemed unfit. Elie Wiesel vividly describes his own experience of this brutal selection process in his memoir "Night."
The Holocaust camps differed in the ways they treated prisoners after they passed the selection that degrades and dehumanizes them. Sometimes the prisoners were forced to do hard labor and other times they were killed.
Elie Wiesel was advised by a fellow prisoner in the concentration camp to run to the left during the selection process, as the left side of the line was often chosen for labor, which would increase his chances of survival.
Elie's father tells him about the hidden money during the selection process at Auschwitz when they are taken to the barracks. He reveals that he has hidden money in his shoes and begs Elie to keep it safe.
