This assignment is based on Primo Levis, Survival in Auschwitz.

In Chapter Nine of Survival in Auschwitz, The Drowned and the Saved,� Levi posits the existence of two particularly well differentiated categories among men�the saved and the drowned.� In particular, he is interested in explaining/describing how those among the common prisoners not initially favored by fate� managed to survive (reach salvation� as he puts it), via the stories of Schepschel, Alfred L., Elias, and Henri. For this assignment, write a short paragraph or two about why (in Levis mind) ONE of these individuals reached salvation. What in general does this reveal about the nature of surviving Auschwitz?
