Yuri is Victor’s son, a Polish worker who comes to Birkenau by day to help construct the camp’s crematoriums. Unlike his father, Yuri is hesitant to show kindness to Lale, whom he calls a “Jew boy.” However, Victor chastises him for being rude, so he starts treating Lale with more respect, going along with his father’s decision to bring Lale food in exchange for jewels and money.
