In 1943, Primo Levi, a twenty-five-year-old chemist and "Italian citizen of Jewish race," was arrested by Italian fascists and deported from his native Turin to Auschwitz. Survival in Auschwitz is Levi's classic account of his ten months in the German death camp, a harrowing story of systematic cruelty and miraculous endurance. Remarkable for its simplicity, restraint, compassion, and even wit, Survival in Auschwitz remains a lasting testament to the indestructibility of the human spirit. Included in this new edition is an illuminating conversation between Philip Roth and Primo Levi never before published in book form.

    this book is very impressive. What struck me above all is the physical and moral metamorphosis suffered in the Lager and the strong capacity of adaptation in which prisoners were able to survive as Primo Levi. Is a book that makes you think about the inhuman conditions in which a nation has been subjected. I absolutely recommend you this book because it represents a warning in order to not repeat this horror.

  • Before working on Pierre Berg's Holocaust memoir, Scheisshaus Luck, I did three months of research and in that process I read Levi's Survival In Auschwitz twice. An amazing memoir and an extremely brave man to keep revisiting his time in the camps.
