Let's imagine, now, the inhabitant of the camp, in his most extreme representation. Primo Levi described him in camp jargon as "the Muslim", a being in whom humiliation, horror and fear had severed all consciousness and personality, to the point of absolute apathy... Not only was he excluded, like his companions, from the political and social context to which he once belonged. Not only, as Jewish life who did not deserve to live, was he destined to a future not far from death. Worse, he no longer in any way belonged to the world of men, not even the menaced and precarious world of the inhabitants of the camp, who had from the beginning forgotten him. Mute and absolutely alone, he had passed into another world, without memory or regret. Holderlin's assertion applies to him to the letter, "at the extreme limits of pain there exists nothing but the conditions of time and space."
