The prisoners in charge of the cell blocks during the Holocaust were often referred to as "kapos." These individuals were typically prisoners themselves who were appointed by the SS to oversee other inmates, manage labor details, and maintain order within the camps. Kapos could be of various nationalities and backgrounds, and their roles often involved a complex mix of collaboration and coercion under extreme duress.

A Blockältester ('block senior') was a trusted prisoner in charge of a 'block'. He was appointed by the SS and had considerable power over the other prisoners in the block, usually including the right to whip them. His powers were broadly the same as those of a Kapo (Capo), except that the latter was (ususally) a gangmaster in charge of a working party possibly consisting of men from several blocks.
