There moments when people just look back in time how situation drastically changed to modern time. But it wouldn’t have become a lesson if no one looked at the issues people had affected society to present and future. According to the well known book in 20th century written by Primo Levi, Survival In Auschwitz, he explained about the time of his experience as a young 24 year old man being placed in German camp since he was considered as “Italian citizen and Jewish raced”. During the holocaust, it is one of the most horrible case of position to be part of because it is a matter of fact that there are unfair controversy based on race, and how people were severely treated. There is a point when people experiences the suffocation, but towards the present and future, it begins to upgrade from war ended and people have a great story to tell.
There are certain things people are against, they tend to do something about it. During the time of World War II, there were many situations going on. The Holocaust was on that was really known throughout history, which caused World War II, ideal by Adolf Hitler. Beforehand, he was in the Nazi Party, it wasn’t that powerful then, until he came up with the idea of taking over the Jews, which he strongly disliked them. He became well-known in Germany, with the putsch help. Many client from Germany or other places were satisfied with Hitler’s idea of taking over the Jews, that’s how World War II happened. It started around 1939, the place he invaded was Poland. Joseph Stalin gave Hitler to invade Poland because apparently he supported Hitler idea. It just continued from there, Hitler just invaded many European countries along with German support.

What happens in the past, always stays in the past because we learn new things everyday in the future, but we can also learn things that happens in the past if we want to make the future better. It is a life changing to everyone if they learn something from their mistakes or goods, just have to live the moment.

Thousands upon thousands of innocent Jews, men, women, and children tortured; over one million people brutally murdered; families ripped apart from the seams, all within Auschwitz, a 40 square kilometer sized concentration camp run by Nazi Germany. Auschwitz is one of the most notorious concentration camps during WWII, where Jews were tortured and killed. Auschwitz was the most extreme concentration camp during World War Two because innumerable amounts of inhumane acts were performed there, over one million people were inexorably massacred, and it was the largest concentration camp of over two thousand across Europe.
In Primo Levi’s Survival In Auschwitz, an autobiographical account of the author’s holocaust experience, the concept of home takes on various forms and meanings. Levi writes about his experience as an Italian Jew in the holocaust. We learn about his journey to Auschwitz, his captivity and ultimate return home. This paper explores the idea of home throughout the work. As a concept, it symbolizes the past, future and a part of Levi’s identity. I also respond to the concept of home in Survival In Auschwitz by comparing it to my own idea and what home means to me – a place of stability and reflection that remains a constant in my changing life.

Auschwitz Concentration Camp “Get off the train!”. Hounds barking loud and the sound of scared people, thousands of people. The “Now!”. I am a shaman. All sorts of officers yelling from every angle.
In Survival in Auschwitz, Primo Levi describes his time in the concentration camp. The depiction of Auschwitz, is gruesome and vile in the Nazi’s treatment of the captives being held, but especially in the treatment of its Jewish prisoners. A key proponent to the text is Levi’s will to live which is shown in various places in the text, however a thematic element to the will to live is the reference to Inferno by Dante. In particular, the Inferno aids Survival in Auschwitz in by adding another layer of context to the prisoner’s condition, which resembles hell, and Levi’s will to live paralleling the character, Dante.

The Holocaust was one of the most atrocious genocides we have seen in human history, an atrocity where the Jewish people were persecuted through intense torture, murder, and unspeakable injustices. Through the Holocaust, many writers were able to express their experience as survivors so that people would never forget this tragic event. Personally, there are three stories that helped me transport myself into the moment and understand the pain, suffering, and fears of the survivor. The three different authors mentioned in this paper will demonstrate vivid imagery, metaphors, and allusions that express their own personal experiences. Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi was written from his own point of view since he was a prisoner in Auschwitz at the time, Levi gets very personal on what it was like to be a Jew in Auschwitz.

Andrey Pogozhev wrote the autobiography Escape From Auschwitz to tell the world about his experience at a Nazi death camp. Pogozhev recounts the story of his capture, imprisonment, and successful escape from Auschwitz. This story is an eye opening account of the brutality endured by Soviet Prisoners of War and others during Nazi rule.
The year is 1945, in chilly cold January, the Soviet army comes across the heinous sight, Auschwitz. The soldiers release walking skeletons with damaged minds, and can’t help to look away in disgust or scold at the grotesque images displayed with every step they take. The survivors, immediately start searching through the crowds for their beloved ones and either find them stacked in a pile to collect mud and bugs or simply are offered no condolences, no clues about their state. When these people thought the nightmare was over, they found themselves with no shelter, no money or possessions, flashbacks that never allowed them to feel secure ever again and for some the idea of liberty was destroyed when their liberators forced their uniforms against the survivor’s bare bodies, a

Thousands of people were sent to concentration camps during World War Two, including Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel. Many who were sent to the concentration camps did not survive but those who did tried to either forgot the horrific events that took place or went on to tell their personal experiences to the rest of the world. Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi wrote memoirs on their time spent in the camps of Auschwitz; these memoirs are called ‘Night’ and ‘Survival in Auschwitz’. These memoirs contain similarities of what it was like for a Jew to be in a concentration camp but also portray differences in how each endured the daily atrocities of that around them. Similarities between Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi’s memoirs can be seen in the proceedings that
