Kapos were in charge of the Jewish prisoners at the death camps, it was their job to make sure the Jews did their work correctly, they also had the power of life or death over the prisoners.
The special squads were called sonderkommandos, it was their job to deal with the new arrivals at the death camps, to sort out their clothing, take out gold teeth, drag the dead out of the gas chambers and to burn their bodies in the crematorium.
