This book was a selection of a book club that I'm in. I have read a slew of books about the Holocaust and wasn't sure that I was ready for another one. I was wrong. What I liked about this book is that it is a reflection, and memories to put the reflections into context, about a horrific chapter in human history. Primo writes about the "gray zone" of inmate hierarchy including the Kapos and how the Nazi system of dehumanization led to situations where inmates hurt each other to survive. Other chapters in the book deal with memory, shame, intellectuals, and one topic I had not encountered before, communication. Primo does not simplify or stereotype, but probes the complexities of life in the Lagers.
