In 1844, Karl Marx published the piece "Estranged Labour," which touched on four forms of estrangement and alienation of the capitalist worker, including the estrangement of man from man, estrangement of man from his humanity, estrangement of man from the product of his work and estrangement of man from the act of work itself. Just under a century later, the “normality and uniqueness of the Holocaust,” as described by Zygmunt Bauman, shaped Marx's four alienations. Found in his novel “Survival at Auschwitz,” Primo Levi's Holocaust experiences served as an example of these four alienations, representing the Lager as a heightened version of capitalist modernity. Marx's idea of ​​man's alienation from the product of his labor described the worker's suffering through countless hours or labor, contributing to the production of a product he could not afford with the wages he received. He helped produce a product that only those richer than him could afford. As the society around him became more and more object-oriented, he became more and more alienated. In the concentration camp, a factor that distanced the worker from his product was that he no longer worked for a salary, but for survival. In a description of his workmate, Levi writes: «He seems to think that his current situation is like outside, where it is honest and logical to work, as well as advantageous, because according to what everyone says, the more you work the more you earn and we eat." Levi pitied his fellow worker for his naivety, as the Lager was not a place of work for prosperity, but strictly a place of forced labor. You worked for a living, focusing more on the uncertainty of the next meal, the day, or even the next breath than on the product of your l...... middle of paper ......isoners, as you never knew when the next death would come. It has become an unnecessary waste of energy, which is critical to their ability to work. Since their work was essential to their survival, alienating themselves from their peers and focusing solely on survival was in their own best interest. Primo Levi's accounts of his labors in “Surviving Auschwitz” connected Marx's ideas with working in extreme and unique circumstances. In the Lager the workers suffered extreme working conditions, they were deskilled in their work, they became one with the masses, they were dehumanised. Through Marx's four alienations (man's estrangement from the product of his labor, man's estrangement from the act of labor, man's estrangement from humanity, and man's estrangement from man), the ways in which where the Holocaust is a product of a heightened version of capitalist modernity.
