Journal 1 On auschwitz

In the first chapter, Primo Levi, the italian jew was arrested by fascist troops and was taken to Auschwitz concentration camp. He knew that the camp was the most horrible place for Jews like him. It seemed that it is also almost hopeless to survive in Auschwitz. At first, author could not get along with the new harsh enviornment such as night time and the waking up time. There is also a quote in pg 16 "dawn came on us like a betrayer." This probably explains that when each morning comes, the death of a jew will come closer and since nobody knows who is going to die when, so morning makes every jews fearful. Morning is refreshing beginning for outside life, but it is like hell in Auschwitz
