Question: who is idek in the book night?
Answer: Idek is a Kapo in Elie Wiesel's Holocaust book, Night. Because he is a Kapo, Idek is a prisoner, but a prisoner placed in charge of a Kommando, or work squad, within the concentration camp. Eliezer, the narrator of Night, falls victim to Idek's fits of uncontrollable rage several times, and so does Eliezer's father.
