Moonface is a kapo who terrorizes Yanek and all of the other prisoners. He is huge, strong, angry, and a murderer. Moonface had killed 3 men before the war had started. Yanek got picked on by him a lot. He would get beaten up very badly. The Bergen-Belsen camp would’ve been the best place for Yanek to keep on working out, it was a little more manageable there. Though, Moonface was too much to bear. Yanek left that camp just to be away from this cruel kapo, but they met up again. The character’s significance is one of the many oppressors of Yanek and other prisoners. Some of the Kapo’s anger was taken out on the innocent prisoners for just doing what they were told, and Moonface was one of the worst Yanek had met. Moonface gives another dangerous obstacle Yanek has to read and decide what to do about it. When Yanek was in his weakest state, he knew he had to get some food and fast or else he’d starve to death on a Death March. He saw that a kapo had 4 loaves of bread that was taken from the Czech houses that the prisoners were passing by. After he knew that it was Moonface, he was doubtful but he still needed to do something. Yanek knew that the chances were low, and he thought that Moonface would just beat him up again or kill him. All of the surrounding prisoners were shocked by what was going on. How could this random prisoner boy be doing this? Was he looking for a death wish? Yet Yanek knew he was going to die either way so he might as well try. Even though Moonface is inhumane and brutal, for an unknown reason he shares some of his huge stash of bread with Yanek. It could be that Yanek was one of the very few people who was able to not back down to him, who actually dared to go against him. This shows that even the worst people have some light within them.
