The end will come
Books:
Primo Levi: If this is a man?
Art Spiegelman: Maus
J. E. Salomaa: Friedrich Nietzsche
Film:
Michael Haneke: Time of the wolf
I read a book about a nazi destruction camp. It was Christmas. I was lying next to my wife, not being able to sleep and thought about the surreality of the moment. Of all these loving, caring people around me. This is all going to end, I thought to myself. Make yourself tough and strong, for the destruction will come. You should not fear the suffering, for the suffering is a natural state of a human existence.
The endless row of human waste, walking with heavy burdens. Nazi soldiers or other prisoners, higher in ranks, beat them as they fall or slow down. Destruction camp is not only a destruction of the bodies in the gas chambers, but a destruction of will and soul in a dehumanizing hard work and starvation. To survive you have to lie, steal, kill and cheat.
The nazies are prisoners too, they also struggle to keep their souls. They are a part of this industrial human sacrifice, and still they try to go home and love their wives and children.
I imagine the world as a large scale destruction camp and a millions of poor people working, killing, stealing and lying to survive everyday. (I have seen all this happen in South-Africa, Myanmar, Philippines...) I am a nazi in this working camp. my well-being is a cause of suffering and a brutal death for millions. But the end will come for me as sure as the morning. I have to work out, I have to take on heat and cold. The skin must be thicker, but more so for the soul. Struggle! Seek the Truth all time! Run from the nazies, run from their lies!

I also read the book ”If this a man?”, which truly was an illuminative experience. Primo Levi had a deep insight into a human nature, but also into capitalistic system. Will the end come to our large scale destruction camp? Can somebody do something about it?
History gives kind of sad view on this matter: In nazis' destruction camps were some resistance, but eventually they just stopped existing due to the collapse of the whole nazi society and destruction camps just vanished along with it.
hey, it's good to know that i still have at least 2 or 3 readers after a long break... long live the resistance! down with the democracy and other humanist lies!
