Journal 2

In the second chapter, there is one part where Jewish people and German people having hard communication since the German language is new to those international Jewish. Primo knew a little about german, but not fully. It must have been pretty troublesome and 'blocked' for Jews because they can't understand what Germans are saying.
Then the prisoners were taken to shower room. All their possessions like clothes and watches were taken away and they were shaved. Then they would get new prisoner clothes to live with it until the end of the camp.
The prisoners are also numbered and Primo got 174517 tattoo on his left arm and that became his new name in the camp. Naming a prisoner in numbers... that shows that the camp is truly a jail and make jews look like sinners and bad criminals.
