The Juggler

Selection from Moments of Reprieve by Primo Levi – “The Juggler” recalls his experience with a camp inmate imprisoned for criminal activities. It relates a brush with danger that could have led to his death if not for the twisted mercy of the "juggler." This work is filled with the randomness of survival. Follow this link provided and read Primo Levi's "the Juggler" http://books.google.com/books?id=EoORczQMt6EC&pg=PA9&lpg=PA9&dq=Primo+Levi+%22The+Juggler%22&source=bl&ots=HFPj46eQ-j&sig=ylcGzOd58Z0tmUfiCTVxIu1dZSc&hl=en&ei=dsyaSf-XNZW6twejtbmiCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result

Getting to know all of you.

Since I cannot be in San Antonio with all of you I set up this Blog so that we can chat and I can share some of the resources that will make your experiences in Germany and Poland richer. From time to time I will post reading for you and follow them with discussion questions we can pursue on the blog. Start by reading "the Juggler."
