Die drei Leute com Labor

Primo was assigned as one of the three chemists to work in the laboratory. His life in the concentration camp was easier as being a specialist in the certain area. He got better treated with shelter, food, and new clothes. He didn’t work all day long under the sun but now, he just worked with chemical things, the labor that he usually did for his living before he arrived in Auschwitz.

This privileged conditions that Primo had over the ordinary prisoners were made because of his specialist. Before I started reading this book, I thought if a victim of the Holocaust survived the massacre then he must have something standing out that helped him survive. As soon as I read that Primo would be taking the chemistry exam, my light bulb had turned on. I knew he would pass the test and that would help him survive.

This reminds me of how my parents often stresses the reality of the society that we live in and how I must become a specialist in an area to make a living and to earn many things I desire to have in life.
