3 quotes from Survival in Auschwitz

• "Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions."
• "It is not a matter of where we come from, but where we go, always forward, adapting to life's struggles and the ruins left behind."
• "The dimension of suffering cannot be spoken about without paying attention to the complexity of the human condition; it reveals much about our world and ourselves."

Author: Primo Levi

Primo Michele Levi was an Italian chemist and acclaimed writer known for his profound and reflective works, including novels, short stories, essays, and poetry. His seminal book, *The Periodic Table*, published in 1975, intricately connects the properties of chemical elements to personal experiences and has been lauded as the best science book ever written by the Royal Institution of Great Britain. Levi's harrowing experience as a prisoner for eleven months at Monowitz, part of the Auschwitz concentration camp complex, profoundly influenced his writing; he was one of only twenty survivors from his transport of 650 Italian Jews. In honor of his legacy, the Primo Levi Center was established to study the history and culture of Italian Jewry.
