Throughout the novel‚ he is time and again spared from the fate that supposedly lies ahead of all inhabitants of the death camp at Auschwitz. Whether it was falling ill at the most convenient times or coming in contact with prisoners who had a compassionate‚ albeit uncommon‚ disposition‚ it would seem as though

What really happened behind the closed gates of Auschwitz? It seems there is not enough words to describe the tragedy that happened inside‚ but but do we truly know the horrors inside.

When we start out in district 12‚ we see how survival plays a part in the people who live there.
