What Isthe Toilet Paper Rolltest




IF THIS IS A MAN '

You who live safe
In your warm houses, You who find, returning

the evening, Hot food and friendly faces: Consider if this is


a man Who works in
mud Who knows no peace Who fights for a

bread Who dies a yes and a no

Consider if this is a woman, Without hair and
unnamed

no more strength to remember, Her eyes empty and her womb cold Like a frog in winter
:

forget that this was :
Remember these words:

Carve them in your hearts At home, street, Going to bed, rising

;
Repeat them to your sons, O
there undone the house,
illness impede you, your loved ones
twist their faces from you.

Primo Levi
