"This high margin of profit is correlative to the gravity of the risk of leaving camp wearing more than one shirt or re-entering with none." -Pg. 81
"We now invite the reader to contemplate the possible meaning in the Lager of the words 'good' and 'evil', 'just' and 'unjust'; let everybody judge, on the basis of the picture we have outlined and of the examples given above, how much of our ordinary moral world could survive on this side of the barbed wire." -Pg. 86Primo talks about the small economy in the Auschwitz and it is an irony "re-entering with none" that strong comrades take over new shirts and steal from the new or the weak. He has a sense of humor even in the darkest times in prison and shows the survival in the fittest. Sometimes Primo thinks the SS are the good instead of evil. Primo describes that the concentration camp is not an ordinary place and ordinary morals wouldn't work for the people in the camp. Showing how brutal the place is as well as every chapter has the brutality of the camp.
