Abstract
RESUMEN:
En «La zona grigia», un capítulo de la obra «I sommersi e i salvati» (1986), Primo Levi introduce la figura de Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, presidente del gueto de Łódź entre 1940 y 1944. A través de esta historia, Levi precisa su discurso acerca de la ambigüedad humana que se determina a raíz de la opresión: la zona gris es justamente ese espacio, nunca vacío, que separa las víctimas de los carnífices y donde se produce el contagio del mal. El ejemplo de Rumkowsi es para Levi fundamental en su precisa tarea de «razonar contando» el horror del holocausto.
ABSTRACT: In «The Grey Zone», a chapter of the «The Drowned, the Saved», Primo Levi introduces Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, president of Łódź’s ghetto between 1940 and 1944. Through this history, Levi specifies his reason about human ambiguity that is determined by oppression: the gray zone is exactly thatspace, never empty, that separates the victims from the tormentors and where the infection of the evil takes place. The example of Rumkowsi is for Levi fundamental in is task: to demonstrate, by literature, the horror of the Holocaust.
