Commentary Concering Books The Drowned and the Saved (Auschwitz Trilogy #3)

The author tries to understand the rationale behind Auschwitz, Treblinka, Bergen-Belsen. Dismissing stereotyped images of brutal Nazi torturers and helpless victims, Levi draws extensively on his own experiences to delve into the minds and motives of oppressors and oppressed alike. Describing the difficulty and shame of remembering, the limited forms of collaboration between inmates and SS goalers, the exploitation of useless violence and the plight of the intellectual, Levi writes about the issue of power, mercy and guilt, and their effects on the lives of the ordinary people who suffered so incomprehendingly.

Appraise Out Of Books The Drowned and the Saved (Auschwitz Trilogy #3)

This is a eyes wide open analysis of many aspects of what Auschwitz and the other Nazi atrocities meant to writer and survivor Primo Levi. Beautifully written prose full of warmth despite the gruesome topic. Especially interesting were the chapters on Gray Areas (Kapos and other collaborators in the camps), Stereotypes, and the Letters From Germans he received after publishing the German translation of his first book Survivor of Auschwitz/If This Is A Man. Sadly, 34 years after its publication,

An extremely important reflection of the holocaust by one of its witnesses.

Thanks Bill. Those trumpskis give me the heebie jeebies with that fascist antics!

Five deep 5 stars...Primo Levi became a thinker and an intellectual after his experience as lager prisoner. He survived the Holocaust, but never acknowledged the reason why. He defined him self as a non believer and died the same way. Ironically, His books prove that he was wrong, because after all this time, the reason of his survival is undenieable: He lived to become a witness and give testimony to all of us, so we can learn, so we can avoid evilness and try to be tolerant, respectful and

An unrelentingly grim series of eight essays about the concentration camp experience, recommended only for true pessimists and those who think that Primo Levi is one of the very greatest writers about the Holocaust, which I do.One thing Primo Levi does for us is complicate things. He explains :Without profound simplification the world around us would be an infinite, undefined tangle that would defy our ability to orient ourselves and decide upon our actions. In short, we are compelled to reduce

How in the world do I rate a book like this? I guess its four stars, because I didnt find it to be quite as engaging as Night or Man's Search for Meaning, but it was still an un-put-down-able book. Ill be reading more of Levis work, without a doubt. The voices of these Holocaust survivors become ever more important as attrition takes them from us and their story becomes doubted by some.The Drowned and the Saved is a powerful metaphor for the concentration camp experience. Those who emerged

If you are still thinking that America is like Nazi Germany after reading William Shirers Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, then there is no hope for you. But if you are a thoughtful, reflective person and sometimes wonder how it was that Germany went astray, then you might read this book. But, warning, you may find it discomfiting. SPOILER ALERTThere is a letter from a German at the end of the book that makes one think. The letter writer, a German who supported the Nazi Party, explains that as
