In his final book, Primo Levi reflects on his time at Auschwitz, offering a moving meditation on memory, resilience, and the struggle to comprehend an unimaginable tragedy. Levi examines whether we have begun to forget the Holocaust and how violence affects both the victim and the victimizer. This book is a vital first-person testament, especially as the Holocaust recedes into the past and fewer survivors remain to tell their stories.
Primo Michele Levi was a Jewish Italian chemist, partisan, Holocaust survivor and writer. He was the author of several books, collections of short stories, essays, poems and one novel. His best-known works include: If This Is a Man, his account of the year he spent as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland; and The Periodic Table (1975), a collection of mostly autobiographical short stories, each named after a chemical element which plays a role in each story, which the Royal Institution named the best science book ever written.
