  • The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Primo Levi Analysis

    354 Words  | 2 Pages

    From just reading the first two sentences I can already tell how much these camps have changed the prisoners. The author, Primo Levi, reminds me much of Elie from the fact as they both refused to take showers as they thought it was a waste of precious energy, a resource they had little of and must conserve. We can already tell how much the Nazis wanted to turn these prisoners into beasts, as they had even taken away the delight of a shower, as well as marking them like cattle with numbers on their wrists. Primo Levi friend Stienlauf quotes “...the Lager (prison camp) was a great machine to reduce us to beasts, we must not become beasts; that even in this place one can survive, and therefore one must want to survive, to tell their story, to bear witness…” This is a very powerful quote, as it reminds me much of Elie holding on to his father as his will to live, to fight on pass the horrors of the camp and the Nazis.
