Dehumanization: the process of depriving a person or group of positive human qualities.
In Chapter 17, The Story of Ten Days, we see the process of more and more dehumanization. I like this book for the fact that we can see through the eyes of a human, Primo Levi, and how his suffering and dehumanization of life was brought about in these horrid concentration camps. As I sit here in read, I near the end of the book with a quote that says, "It is man who kills, man who creates or suffers injustice; it is no longer man who, having lost all restraint, shares his bed with a corpse. Wow. Dehumanization at its finest. Observing what Levi writes, he describes the day to day suffering the Jews faced, how the struggle of remaining their true self hurt them each day. Sometimes we see a relation in today's world on dehumanization. We go day to day talking about people, not knowing their story, or even acting like we like them. Secretly, I think we dehumanize our peers without knowing. Think of the Holocaust, Primo Levi's "Survival in Auschwitz," don't try to me a "Nazi" and deteriorate someone. "So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them" Genesis 1:27.
