Withdraw Monologue

Improved Essays
Inside the camp are sorrow and distress, outside, lays… something. The Concentration camp took me, my mother, and my older brother, Marvin into its terrible boundaries. Day after day, not enough food, at least 10 more lifeless. I long to depart but instead, it grips tightly onto me saying,

“Withdraw and a severe chastisement, remain and undergo day after day, in the camp.”

If I leave and fail to escape, it will be the demise of me. I can’t bear to think about Marvin and mother, the penalty they will grant them… but I have to at least try. I clutch a dejected sack filled with food, water, and a gentle sleek blanket.

“Goodbye mother, Goodbye Marvin,” I whisper so quietly, I feel as if the words barely escape my lips. My dry, thin, shriveled lips. I plait my hair in a matter of 1 minute, and then I Depart. Letting my feet make small padding noises as I exit the back of the camp. The nazis don’t patrol back here frequently, so I may be able to manage an escape.

It’s notably a voice belonging to a man. I hear the click of a gun being loaded. It’s either now or never, I sprint towards the hill and don’t stop. I’m thin from the lack of food yet I run rapidly.

“Shoot!” The voice says again. I jump over the hill as I hear the gunshots. I count at least six gunshots. Can you imagine six nazis hunting down a nine-year-old girl? I evade most, but a single bullet hits me in the hand. I grimace as I land, observing the damage. They’re in hot pursuit so I have to think fast. Even though the bullet is wedged in my hand and I need to treat it, my number one priority is to escape. I keep running.

“Forget it she’s gone” I hear a voice say. I look behind rapidly and see my same blonde hair, same hazel eyes, and same sullen face. There is no doubt that this is my dad. I thought he was killed by the nazis but apparently, because of his ability to produce guns at a rapid pace, they must have recruited

    Primo Levi was an Italian Jewish citizen and chemist, deported from his hometown Turin to Auschwitz in 1944. His memoir, Survival in Auschwitz, recounts the ten months he spent in Auschwitz prior to Soviet troops liberating the camp in January 1945. In the preface, Levi states his book does not aim to “formulate new accusations” on the nature of death camps but rather to “furnish documentation for a quiet study of certain aspects of the human mind”. His memoir stays true to this statement by going beyond just a recapitulation of life in a Nazi death camp as Levi uses his personal experiences to elucidate aspects of the human mind- namely how in extreme situations of survival, humans will adapt their conceptions of morality.…

    “One more stab to the heart, one more reason to hate. One less reason to live.(109)” Throughout Night by Elie Wiesel, Nazis show time and time again how relentless they will be with their physical and emotional abuse towards prisoners in concentration camps. Through understanding the ways Nazis dehumanize Jews and other minorities, we can see three very important steps to bringing them back into normal life: Non physically abusive treatment, giving them goals, friends, a reason to live, and a non-fluctuant lifestyle, and providing former prisoners with more diverse lifestyle choices. One of Nazi Germany’s most well known ways of dehumanizing people is by physically abusing them.…
