Chapter 5 : Our Nights

As Levi had to move into a new environment, Levi sounded as if he was moving into a nightmare. Of course, moving to a new environment in the camp meant new danger factors, or new faces, but why was he so horrified by the move? It wasn't that he was accustomed to his older environment or that he enjoyed his original place, but why fear moving?

Voices of pain and agony were constant in the concentration camp just like hell. This didn't mean that Primo enjoyed the voices in his original place, but at least he was somewhat used to it. The voices which haunted him, and which weakened him was what he was scared of.
A part that I was able to relate with was how the prisoner's fell asleep and woke up. Rushing to fall asleep to get a little bit of more sleep in order to evade fatigueness, and rushing to get up in order to finish my task.

Of course, all of us sleep and wake up, but it is probably not even half the pain the prisoner's went through
