In 1943, the 24-year-old Italian Jew Primo Levi was arrested by the Italian fascist militia and transferred from his hometown of Dulin to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. In the concentration camps, the German Nazis used systematic violence to persecute the Jews: they first kept the prisoners in a state of constant hunger with small rations of food, then tortured their bodies with unbearable labor, and finally used power to erode the dignity of the prisoners and make them There is no choice but to surrender.
In a calm, simple yet nuanced style, Levi wrote his memoir "If This Were a Man", a memoir of being imprisoned in a concentration camp for ten months. It recorded the atrocities of the times, but also left behind the most powerful evidence of the indestructibility of human nature.
"We were transported here in sealed wagons; we saw our women and children never return; we became slaves, silent and weary, walking to work a hundred times before becoming nameless dead , our souls are already dying. We can't go back. No one can go out from here, no one can spread this ugly news to the outside world with the mark imprinted on the body, telling people that in Auschwitz , What do unscrupulous people ruin people for?"
