Question 2

In the reading in the textbook,"Movement of Ideas: Primo Levi's Memories of Auschwitz," Levi mentions several personal characteristics and situations in the camp that made a difference between life and death.Relating to these personal characteristics and contemplating your own personal characteristics,do you think you would have survived the camp? Also keep in mind that Signor Levi committed suicide four years after revisiting Auschwitz.Was he a survivor after all?

Accepted Answer

It is difficult to say whether I would have survived the camp, as it is impossible to truly understand the horrors and challenges that Primo Levi and other prisoners faced in Auschwitz. Levi mentions personal characteristics such as adaptability, resourcefulness, and luck as factors that made a difference between life and death in the camp. Contemplating my own personal characteristics, I would like to believe that I possess some of these qualities, but it is impossible to know for sure how I would have fared in such extreme circumstances.

As for Primo Levi, it is a complex question whether he was a survivor after all. On one hand, he physically survived the camp and went on to live for several years after his liberation. On the other hand, the psychological and emotional scars of his experiences in Auschwitz haunted him for the rest of his life. His decision to take his own life four years after revisiting Auschwitz suggests that he may have never truly felt like a survivor. The trauma and suffering he endured in the camp continued to affect him deeply, ultimately leading to his tragic end. In this sense, it is a reminder that survival is not just about physical existence, but also about the long-term impact of trauma and the ability to find peace and healing.
