"Survival in Auschwitz"

Paper Summary:

The paper describes how Primo Levi, author of "Survival in Auschwitz" clearly documented life and death in the concentration camp despite the fact that he was physically, emotionally and spiritually part of these horrible days. The paper does show, however, that at times it was impossible for Levi to retain his external journalistic objectivity in face of the cruelty he experienced.

From the Paper:

"A good journalist reports the news in an objective fashion, observing and describing everything that is taking place regardless of his or her own personal bias. Some writers feel so strongly about their own beliefs that despite attempting to paint a factual picture, their stance on an issue is apparent. The more one is closely involved with a topic, the more difficult it is to separate oneself from the written piece. Imagine then, how difficult it was for Primo Levi, author of Survival in Auschwitz, to take a journalistic approach to his experiences in a German death camp."
