"The adventure is over, and I feel filled with a serene sadness that is almost joy."
(Pg. 31)
"Because once the choice is made there can be no second change." (Pg. 34)
"And it was so tiring to walk those few steps and then, meeting each other, to remember and to think. IT was better not to think." (Pg. 37)
As Primo Levi was sent to the bottom of the cells, he remembered his family and his memories from the past. He was regretful of being a Jew but he knew he would want to be more Italian than a Jew. His strong faith to God but still complained why he had to live a grotesque life in deep chambers. If I was Primo Levi, I wouldn't have survived more than a week in the concentration camp and blamed God in all ways... normally people start blaming someone else. Living in a harsh condition of survival wouldn't be a success of life or faliure. Once choice could end a life but Primo Levi kept his faith toward God, suprising me. Hope is lost as well as vitality of life. The Jews couldn't blame Nazis, Germans, or Hitler but to make life more miserable than before. Losing family, valueables, friends, and love would rip my heart before I even would go to a cell. People weren't treated as people in the camps and there was no one to hold on to in Auschwitz.
This Blog is made for Jason and his response of the Book "Survival in the Auschwitz" by Primo Levi
