Review:



 Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi, This book is about how the author Primo Survived the mass murder that was caused by Hitler and his ruling during WWII. Mainly on Jews, Hitler disliked them and felt like they were causing the destruction within his country and felt like getting rid of them would help the country in a positive way. Hitler was sending all Jews to concentration camps where they were separated from their wife’s and children. Unfortunately, the children and wives were put into cremators where they were poisoned by gas to death while the strong men or working men would be put to work until they die or get weak and shot by the Germans. This was not a good time for Jews since they were killed on mass numbers because of one’s person’s view on them. This book describes how one’s point of view inside the camp and what had happened throughout the time he was there and how he survived.



Primo was an Italian Chemist that was taken by the Germans since he was a Jew. He was put into a concentration camp like the rest of his fellow people. He was separated from everyone he knew, and he was put to work, for years he had to deal with the harsh environment inside the camp and had to deal with so many things that the Germans were doing to him. Primo was not a strong guy neither he was a weak skinny guy that had to push his weigh on stuff so he can survive. There were many things he had to deal with that he described in his book that is worth reading.



In my opinion, I believe that Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi is a good book to read to get a different person’s point of view on something that has happened in history of the world. It was not a good time for this to be happening, but it gives you an idea on how it was during the time and gives you a point of view of what he had to deal with while in this concentration camp. I believe it was a good read since it provided me with details and events he had to deal with that I didn’t know before since I wasn’t able to see how the camp’s were during the time but he was able to provide great detail on what was happening in the camps and what things they were required to do while they were there and what thoughts were going through their mind during the time. Primo was a friendly guy that was put through a harsh time and he was able to provide us with detail on what happened and give other points of view on how it was during the unforgettable time. Primo was a great guy that was able to achieve the impossible that many were able to do and now he gets to tell his story.
