I read Primo Levy's book - he described the cold and lack of food towards the end of the war - (when the supply of food failed, possibly due to allied bombing of the railways) He also was very careful to separate what he himself saw from the gossip he heard about gas chambers - according to Levy, he saw only one execution, that of a prisoner who attempted to commit arson by setting a fire in a workshop. The prisoners were suffering from starvation and typhus towards the end and he felt lucky to have survived - recommend his book.

What's your guess? How many reading what you wrote grasp your motivation?

Or is there no malice in you and you are just not very bright?
