Based on the background information, why would someone like Tadek not be abused as harshly as some of the other prisoners in Auschwitz?

Tadek may not be treated as harshly as the others because he is not "rich and mighty."

Explanation:

In the text, it says that when the rich fall, people make sure that they fall to the bottom. That means that those who were very wealthy or held positions of power are going to be at the bottom of the hierarchy because of the resentment held towards them by the lower classes.
