As the Nazis abused the Jews and others they lost their will to live. After being hurt so many times they were just shells of people and those that survived would be scarred for life. The Nazis are guilty of crimes against humanity because they physically, mentally, and verbally abused millions of prisoners.
The rights of Elie and other holocaust victims were violated by the Nazus many times. The Nazis took their identity, shaved their heads, took their clothes and names. They were assigned a number in place of their name and were violated them in many other ways too. They also separated families. Some were separated as soon as they got to the camps
