He meant that he could not enjoy his meal given the killings that he had witnessed.
In the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Elie's soup tasted like corpses because he felt that consuming the soup made with marrow from deceased prisoners was, in a way, consuming a part of the suffering and death around him. This experience served as a stark reminder of the dehumanizing conditions he faced in the concentration camps, blurring the lines between sustenance and the horrors of the Holocaust.
Wiesel says this to emphasize the numbness and detachment he felt after witnessing the hanging, as a way of coping with the horror of the event. It also symbolizes the dehumanization that occurs in the concentration camps, where survival takes precedence over emotions or morals.
