Many Holocaust survivors such as Primo Levi assert in their immediate postwar memoirs that most of the good, integrated European Jews were killed during the Holocaust, and that those who survived were those who were willing to keep their heads down and accept the torture of their friends and family, or who were otherwise extremely lucky. That the ones who survived were willing to toss other people under the bus and only thought of their own survival, something he himself struggles with greatly as he feels immensely guilty over his actions during his imprisonment. Do you think this is true? Do you think the Nazis paradoxically killed the best, most integrated Jews, and left mostly the selfish (barring the lucky ones) to survive?

Your right about them murdering most of the integrated jews (I.e most Jews in europe) but the rest of what you said is just projection

No, I'm doing research on Holocaust survivors and it's an interesting theme between quite a few of them. There's a lot of self-loathing projection there, of course, but I do wonder if the really kind-hearted people were the first to die while the more hardnosed, self-focused people survived in those conditions.

I wouldn't call it projection. I've read what is probably an absurd amount of Holocaust memoirs, as well as journals and diaries left behind by people who ended up dying, and the concept definitely shows up more than once, although I would disagree with the premise that the only survivors were those that tossed people under the bus or otherwise ignored their humanity. Perhaps Levi and others like him (the author for This Way for the Gas, for instance) wanted to project that as being more universal because of their own guilt and self-loathing about surviving, especially in regards to their own actions towards others.
In cases where life or death meant the difference between being willing to steal other people's food or supplies, then the person who is willing to do that is more likely to survive. Or at least, survive for longer.

This, why do you think Jews are all crafty thieves? The final solution was actually Hitler's checkmate to the kikes. He knew he didn't have the means to gas them all once war broke out, so he engineered their race to harbor hostilities, allowing for a effecient future Holocaust.
