As the Jews were innocent victims of the Holocaust, so were the workers, civilians, and rescuers of this modernized act of terrorism. As Primo Levi states: “We are often asked, as if our past conferred a prophetic ability upon us, whether Auschwitz will return: whether, that is, other slaughters will take place, unilateral, systematic, mechanized, willed, at a governmental level, perpetrated upon innocent and defenseless populations and legitimized by the doctrine of contempt” (117).
