the kapos
The Kapos (Capos) were chosen by the SS guards. The prisoners had no say in the matter.
"Kapos" .
Th kapos
They were brutal by beating inmates, wipping them, hanging. Kapos where also inmates chosen by the SS to be incharge of inmates. They got special privilages like extra food. Why they beat the inmates is hard to say.
If the SS had relied entirely on its own full-time personnel to run the concentration camps the cost would have been considerable. The first Kapos were appointed at Dachau in 1933 and the system remained in use till 1945.
Elie kept his shoes from being taken by the Kapos by pretending to be dead when they were collecting the shoes of those who died. This way, he was able to keep his shoes and avoid being left without them.

No, Kapos were recommended by individual SS guards at the various camps.
Kapos were appointed as and when the SS thought they needed them.
The Kapos were part of the Nazi SS apparatus for maintaining the Concentration Camps. As opposed to the SS, most of the Kapos were gentiles, conscripted from among the violent criminal or political prisoners in the camps. They functioned as enforcers in the camps in order to keep the system organized. The Kapos were well-known for the vile way that they treated people in their care, often cajoling them and beating them. The Kapos were also in competition with each other and for the SS's "affection" to prevent them from being demoted to the status of ordinary prisoner, which would usually result in them being killed by their fellow inmates. It is hard to classify their behavior as troubling, in the situation that they were in they were given the option to beat someone else, or be beaten themselves. It was the price that they had to pay for some power, some extra food and other perks. It was a job that nobody turned down. There were some Jewish Kapos and there were some who treated people in their charge much better, only pretending to beat their charges when the guards passed by.
