Por lo general, sólo se mantenían vivos aquellos prisioneros que tras varios años de dar tumbos de campo en campo, habían perdido todos sus escrúpulos en la lucha por la existencia; los que estaban dispuestos a recurrir a cualquier medio, fuera honrado o de otro tipo, incluidos la fuerza bruta, el robo la traición o lo que fuera con tal de salvarse. Los que hemos vuelto de allí, gracias a multitud de casualidades fortuitas o milagros -como cada cual prefiera llamarlos- lo sabemos bien: los mejores de entre nosotros no regresaron.

Viktor E. FranklI shall never forget how I was roused one night by the groans of a fellow prisoner, who threw himself about in his sleep, obviously having a horrible nightmare. Since I had always been especially sorry for people who suffered from fearful dreams or deliria, I wanted to wake the poor man. Suddenly I drew back the hand which was ready to shake him, frightened at the thing I was about to do. At that moment I became intensely conscious of the fact that no dream, no matter how horrible, could be as bad as the reality of the camp which surrounded us, and to which I was about to recall him.
