In Night Why do the officers take interest in the young boys as they come into the camp?

In "Night," the officers take an interest in the young boys as they arrive at the camp because they view them as potential sources of labor or exploitation. The officers often seek to manipulate the vulnerable youths for their own purposes, whether for work or as a means of asserting power. Additionally, the youth may evoke a sense of curiOSity or amusement for the officers, who are desensitized to the suffering around them. This dynamic highlights the dehumanization and brutality inherent in the concentration camp system.
