94. If This Is A Man by Primo Levi.
Beautifully written in 1947 by the Italian/Jewish writer Primo Levi.
The true story of his experience in Auschwitz.
He spent the remainder of his life coming to terms with his survival.
"The worst survived, that is the fittest, the best all died."
Consider whether this is a man,
Who labours in the mud
Who knows no peace
Who fights for a crust of bread
Who dies at a yes or a no.
Consider whether this is a woman,
Without hair or name
With no more strength to remember
Eyes empty and womb cold.
Sadly, Levi took his own life in 1987.
