This book describes Primo Levi's experiences in the concentration camp at Auschwitz during the Second World War. Levi, then a 25-year-old chemist, spent 10 months in Auschwitz before the camp was liberated by the Red Army. Of the 650 Italian Jews in his shipment, Levi was one of only twenty who left the camp alive. The average life expectancy of a new entry was three months. This truly amazing story offers a revealing glimpse into the realities of the Holocaust and its effects on our world. - Back cover.

From everything I've read and watched regarding the Holocaust, Primo Levi's words are among the most dehumanizing.
Quello di Levi non è un romanzo, un racconto, una favola, quello che Levi Racconta è la STORIA, storia vissuta, terribilmente vissuta.
Una storia tanto cruda che fa male, che ti stritola le budella, che ti tiene sveglio...
Tuttavia una storia che deve essere letta almeno una volta nella vita, non solo per non scordare, ma per IMPARARE e CAPIRE in quali abissi l'uomo può sprofondare.
Per non sbagliare mai più.
Shocking, touching, intense. I think that nobody can read this book without being changed a little bit. A true masterpiece.
