In chapter 12, The Buna is bombarded and the prisoners faced new challenge in the life of camp. The bombardment was led to the flee of prisoners. Prisoners had to wrok all day and now that the camp was getting bombed, they had to evade from the danger. The prisoners run wild and some steal food from the kitchen and some might get killed or starved in hunger. The laws in the camp doesn't exist during the bombardment. Though it is risky to steal food from the kitchen (cuz it led to death)the prisoners are too starved to care about the result.

Primo also described this crazy experience as "world shaken every day more deeply by the omens of its nearing end, amidst new terrors and hopes, with intervals of exasperated slavery," at pg 119. The camp was already bad enough with dying people from cursed German people. Though the prisoners gain hope sometimes, the hope is shriveled up agian by the the camp's new experience, bombing, which led Primo to add it as one of their new torture in the camp.
