When Eliezer first arrives at Buna, he is told that it is “a very good camp” (page 47). What are conditions there like, and to what extent is this true in comparison to other places? To what extent is this not true?

Compared to other places, Buna may be relatively better in terms of slightly higher rations and fewer random executions, but the overall reality of the camp is far from being a "very good camp".
