Synopsis

In 1943 sixteen year old Paul Steinberg was arrested in Paris and deported to Auschwitz. He survived the death camp due in part to his admitted ruthlessness and not a little to luck. Now fifty years later, Steinberg decribes his strategies for survival, the maneouvres and tactics he applied with cold competence. In an unsparing self-examination he traces his passage from artless adolescent to a ruthless creature determined to do anything to live. Steinberg was assigned to work in the camp's laboratory alongside Primo Levi, who would later immortalise his fellow inmate as 'Henri', the ultimate survivor, the paradigm of the prisoner who clung to life at the cost of his own humanity. But, asks Steinberg, 'Is it so wrong to survive?'
