FREE: AUSCHWITZ REPORT - PRIMO LEVI

The listing, AUSCHWITZ REPORT - PRIMO LEVI has ended.

While awaiting return home in a Russian-administered holding camp in Katowice, Poland in 1945, Primo Levi, along with his doctor friend Leonardo De Beneditti, was asked to provide a report on living conditions in Auschwitz for the Russian authorities. Published the following year, it was then forgotten and has until now remained unknown to a wider public. Here, it is published for the first time in the English language.
Dating from the weeks and months immediately after the war, this book represents a fascinating and unusual return to the very earliest phase of Holocaust testimony. It details the author's deportation to Auschwitz, selections for work and extermination, every day life in the camp, and the organization and working of the gas chambers. It constitutes Levi's first, astonishingly lucid attempts to come to terms with the raw horror of events that would drive him to create some of the greatest works of the twentieth-century works and literature and testimony. Auschwitz is a major literary and historical discovery.
