File Primo Levi, The Periodic Table – Cerium

1) Despite being set in a Nazi concentration camp, the story makes almost no mention of the nazis who ruled the camp. Why do you think Levi chose to write the story this way?

2)
What are the few things that we learn about the Germans that were
running the camp, even if not one single nazi is mentioned specifically?

3)
At various points, Levi offers explanations for his acts of stealing
around the camp. Why do you think that he feels the need to justify his
actions?
