Comment: "The Drowned and the Saved" is the final book of Primo Levi (1919-1987), a Jewish-Italian chemist who survived the death camp of Auschwitz, and turned to authorship in his later years.
Comment: The Drowned and the Saved is the haunting last-word meditation of the late Primo Levi on his Auschwitz camp experience.
In The Drowned and the Saved, Levi provides a discerning and articulate exposition of the psychological and sociological peculiarities of the Auschwitz camp--ideas virtually unexplored in popular literature and movies.

 Judaism: Unvarnished Truth: The Chemistry of Shame in Primo Levi
So in the closing paragraphs of The Drowned and the Saved, Levi remakes for us the portrait of his torturers: "They were, for the greater part, diligent followers and functionaries, some fanatically convinced of the Nazi doctrine, many indifferent, or fearful of punishment, or desirous of a good career, or too obedient.
A year before his death and 40 years after Auschwitz, he was warning us about the seduction of power and prestige, about the oversimplification of inherently unpalatable facts in order to contain, and possibly disarm, their charge against us.
He was speaking to his readers--now, about our world and our prospects--now; although he refers back to the Lager, he "lingers more willingly on the state of affairs such as it is now." [44] It is unnerving--his topic is the contemporary human situation and we are perilously close to the categories of Auschwitz.

 Judaism: Unvarnished Truth: The Chemistry of Shame in Primo Levi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
His final book, The Drowned and the Saved, [1] reveals the exhaustion and despair which accompanied this last attempt to set right, yet again, a reading public intent on simplification and reduction, and this time an explicitly-mentioned German reading public bent on distortion, self-justification, and outright denial of responsibility.
In The Drowned and the Saved he speaks about "the gap that exists and grows wider every year between things as they were 'down there' and things as they are represented by the current imagination fed by approximative books, films, and myths.
And so Levi concludes his chapter on "Shame" in The Drowned and the Saved by pronouncing the wholesale shame of the world, the willed ignorance and refusal to be touched by so great a crime.

According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, drowning is the leading cause of death among children under age four in Florida.
Diener is certainly not the first parent or guardian to be charged with child neglect and manslaughter in the drowning of a child in Florida, either.
Ed Griffith, the spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office, argued that Diener's case is no different from other child-neglect cases that have recently made headlines, like that of Antonio Balta, the 28-year-old horse groomer who pleaded guilty on February 16 in Broward County Circuit Court to the aggravated manslaughter of his nine-month-old baby.

While the above verses from Exodus and Psalms suggest that Pharoah and all his army drowned in the sea, Exodus 14:30 {“014:030 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
The Glorious Qur’aan on the other hand, while stressing in many Ayaat that Pharoah and his soldiers all drowned, makes it clear cut that the body of the drowned Pharoah was saved to be a sign for the people.
However, the Glorious Qur’aan states that the body of the drowned Pharoah was indeed saved.

 Babies saved this year
Sometimes, years later, they will drive up to the sidewalk and show the dedicated missionary the baby that was saved, but it's quite likely (even according to Jesus' ministry experience) that only 10% bother to ever take the time to thank the person who was used by God to save their baby's life.
In addition, of course, God has saved many babies through missionaries and ministries which do not participate with Voice For Life, so the total number of babies saved from abortion is undoubtedly many times higher than the numbers we report.

 Why Canada IS Worth SAVING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
One must add to this question and ask: "Worth saving from what?" It seems to me that the greatest danger facing Canada today is its disappearance as a sovereign state due to that process known as globalization.
We must realize as a nation that saving Canada is not so much about saving Canada; rather, it is about preserving an ideal for an open and equitable society and a symbol of hope in a world of intolerance.
In conclusion, Canada is worth saving because we have developed a positive national identity with the creation of the welfare state, because we have developed a good quality of life in our society, and because we play a vital international role.

The Drowned and the Saved, however, was written 40 years later and is the work of memory and reflection not only on the original events, but also on how the world has dealt with the Holocaust in the intervening years.
In the concentration camp, says Levi, it was usually "the selfish, the violent, the insensitive, the collaborators of the 'gray zone,' the spies" who survived ["the saved"] while the others did not ["the drowned"] (82).
Only the drowned could know the totality of the concentration camp experience, but they cannot testify; hence, the saved must do their best to render it.

Living is something you really want very badly, under any circumstances." Helen, a survivor and hence one of the saved, had the will to live through the pain and suffering of her time in the camp.
However, as one of the saved, Helen had to disregard the lives of many others; in her narrative she describes how she would have to take the clothes from the bodies of the dead to replace her worn garments.
The inability of some survivors to continue living in the world of regular society demonstrates the depth of the psychological turmoil ingrained in the minds of many survivors by their experiences in the camps.

 Judaism: The Ethical Uncertainty of Prima Levi
Levi describes Muller in The Drowned and the Saved as a "penitent" (163) and states in The Periodic Table that Muller mistakenly "perceived in my book an overcoming of Judaism, a fulfillment of the Christian precept to love one's enemies" (221).
At the heart of Ozick's misguided argument is the belief that Levi's suppressed "rage of resentment" was, eventually, in suicidal conflict with his universally admired restraint.
In his essay "Stereotypes," collected in The Drowned and the Saved, Levi was at pains to reject a number of anachronistic simplifications which reduce his experience to either one of "imprisonment and flight" (122--123) or "oppression and rebellion" (129--130).

 Diego Gambetta: Primo Levi's Last Moments
In a review of The Drowned and the Saved published in 1988 in the New Republic, Cynthia Ozick wrote that Levi, like several other writers of distinction before him, "[suggests], by a self-willed death, that hell in fact did not end when the chimneys closed down, but was simply freshening for a second run."
As Levi says in the chapter devoted to Jean Améry in The Drowned and the Saved, many suicides admit "to a nebula of explanations." We do not know whether the memories of the camp simply re-exploded in his mind that Saturday morning and reached an unbearable pitch.
In The Drowned and the Saved, Levi calls him "a theoretician of suicide." By contrast, in the little he wrote about it, Levi never argued in favor of suicide.

Their life is short, but their number is endless; they, the Muselmänner, the drowned, form the backbone of the camp, an anonymous mass, continually renewed and always identical, of non-men who march and labor in silence, the divine spark dead within them, already too empty to really suffer.
