Why does Elie have to go to the infirmary (the hospital wing)?

• He needs to get another tooth pulled out; it is infected

• His foot is swelling so bad from the cold, he can barely stand on it.

• He has a fever and is beginning to become weaker and weaker.

• Elie doesn't; he only pretends to be sick so he can see his father who is in the infirmary.

Does the doctor in the infirmary treat Elie with HUMANITY or INHUMANITY? Provide a rationale. (**Select TWO correct answer choices!)

• HUMANITY; the doctor is a fellow Jewish prisoner who takes good care of Elie, operates on him, and reassures him that he will be okay.

• INHUMANITY; he is a Nazi doctor who treats Elie as if he is less than human and does not give him anesthesia before the operation.

• HUMANITY; the kind doctor allows Elie to stay in the hospital for two weeks where he can rest and eat well.

• INHUMANITY; the doctor dismisses Elie's injury, accuses him of exaggerating, and tells him to come back another day.
