"At the camp the pipels were hated: they often showed themselves to be more cruel than the adults. One day I saw one of them, thirteen years old, beat his father."

			However, in chapter 4 of The Night, in one of the most famous passages of the book, Elie Wiesel recalls witnessing the horrific hanging of a young pipel, who was beloved by the prisoners in the camp. Elie describes the boy as being angelic and beautiful. After a stash of weapons is found in the Oberkapo's block, the pipel is tortured before being sentenced to death by hanging. During the hanging, the pipel's body is too light, and he continues to breathe as he hangs from the rope. For a half an hour, the pipel dangles from the rope, "lingering between life and death." The prisoners are forced to watch the delicate, beautiful child hang to death in the middle of the prison. Elie mentions that the pipel was still alive when he walked past him. When one prisoner begins to ask where God is, Elie silently answers,

			Where He is? This is where—hanging here from this gallows . . . (90)
