Summary/Abstract: Holocaust literature includes some biographical and autobiographical novels where the main character collaborates with the Nazi regime in order to obtain some privileges. We can appreciate them, however, because these characters use their privileges for their own prosperity and to help others. Therefore, although the main characters from The Tattooist of Auschwitz and Last Stop Auschwitz accepted to collaborate with the Germans and became part of the „grey zone”, despite their status of collaborators, they maintain their humanity by helping others.
