From the Paper
"Chapter 12, "The Events of Summer", deals with the fact that Levi has survived over five months; he is now a veteran of the camp. Levi is fully immersed in the "concentration camp universe." The outside world is all but gone meaning that all confines of the outside world are likewise gone. Levi does not have freedom; he does not have the same attachments to the things that are important outside the camps. Such things as honesty or bathing or everything else that is taken for granted by people not in the position as these men are all but forgotten. Levi no longer identifies with other people. He considers them to be living while he is dead. "

Abstract
This paper compares two different perspectives on the Holocaust, a secular and a religious one. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry and Avraham Tory's accounts of their experiences in the Kovno ghetto are compared on different levels. While Oshry describes more of the religious aspects of being Jewish and living in the Ghetto, Tory describes the day to day events as the secretary of the Jewish Council of the Kovno Ghetto.
From the Paper
"Rabbi Ephraim Oshry's account of the massacre of the Jews in the Kovno ghetto as told in his writing The Annihilation of Lithuanian Jewry, can be compared to Avraham Tory's account of the Kovno ghetto from his diary Surviving the Holocaust on different levels. On one level we can see how their roles in the community of the Kovno ghetto affected their accounts of the atrocities committed in the ghetto. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry served as a spiritual leader and man of God who instilled faith in the Jews in Lithuania when all seemed hopeless, as Avraham Tory was a more secularized Jew who was a secretary for the Jewish Council of the Kovno ghetto who assisted Dr. Elkes in working to better the conditions of the Jews in the Kovno ghetto. As a result the emphases in their accounts are different. On another level we can compare the two accounts through the different style of writing of each eyewitness. Rabbi Ephraim Oshry compiled his book on Lithuanian Jews after the war, and throughout the book he tells us the way the people in the ghetto perished and survived, which gives us a broader view of the ghetto. Avraham Tory's account is that of his daily diary that he kept during the ghetto in which we have a detailed chronological description of the destruction of the Lithuanian Jews and learn the daily struggles of the people of the ghetto, and especially the responsibilities the Jewish Council faced. Despite these differences in the way the accounts are presented, each account is very detailed in describing when and what happened during each major "Action" or roundup of Jews and is completely consistent with each other."
