A new edition of the author's long-forgotten first published work, which originally appeared in 1946, offers Levi's initial account of the horrors of the holocaust as it describes the deportation to Auschwitz, everyday life in the camp, the selection of inmates for work or extermination, and more. - Blackwell North Amer
While in a Russian-administered holding camp in Katowice, Poland, in 1945, Primo Levi was asked to provide a report on living conditions in Auschwitz. Published the following year, it was then forgotten, and has until now remained unknown to a wider public.
Dating from the weeks and months immediately after the war, Auschwitz Report represents a fascinating and unusual return to the very earliest phase of Holocaust testimony. It details the authorâs deportation to Auschwitz, selections for work and extermination, everyday life in the camp, and the organization and working of the gas chambers. It constitutes Leviâs 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 twentieth-century literature and testimony. Auschwitz Report is a major literary and historical discovery. - Norton Pub
The first published work by one of the central figures in twentieth century literature.
