Lost River Camps - What was the difference between a kapo and a guard in the Concentration camps?

What was the difference between a kapo and a guard in the Concentration camps?

Help! I'm doing a project over The concentration camps, and I need help. I've been scouting through various websites and books, but cannot find the answer to this one: "What is the difference between a kapo and guard?" I'd love your help! Thanks!

I did a quick search on the internet and found Wikipedia's answer. It looks like the Kapo is a prisoner who has been given special privileges, whereas a guard was a soldier in the German army.
