Because Elie would not give him his gold tooth/crown.
Idek beats Elie's father in the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel as an act of cruelty and abuse of power. Idek, who is a Kapo in the concentration camp, frequently lashes out at prisoners to assert his authority and relieve his own frustrations. The violence illustrates the dehumanizing conditions and brutal treatment that prisoners faced in the camp.
It was ironic that Elie felt relief when his father was beaten by Idek, as he didn't want to be the target of Idek's violence. This demonstrates the extreme dehumanization and survival instincts present in the concentration camps, where one can find relief in seeing harm come to a loved one instead of oneself.
