In 1943, Primo Levi, a 25-year-old chemist and "Italian citizen of Jewish race," was arrested by Italian fascists and deported from his native Turin to Auschwitz. This 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.--From publisher description.

"While awaiting return home in a Russian-administered holding camp in Katowice, Poland, in 1945, Primo Levi, along with his friend, the doctor Leonardo De Benedetti, 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, Auschwitz Report represents a return to the very earliest phase of Holocaust testimony. It details the authors' deportation to Auschwitz, selection for work and extermination, everyday life in the camp, and the organization and working of the gas chambers. It constitutes Levi's first attempts to come to terms with events that would drive him to create some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature and testimony."--Jacket.

Plus de cinquante textes - articles, essais, préfaces, notes - dans lesquels le rescapé poursuit sa réflexion sur les camps de concentration, sur le révisionnisme, sur le racisme, le terrorisme, etc. L'ensemble constitue, comme l'écrit l'éditeur, une sorte "d'autobiographie à la fois scientifique, littéraire, politique et morale" car comme le proclame Primo Levi, ce "désir primordial et violent de raconter" la Shoah ne l'a "pas quitté" (p. 182) ni la certitude que "juger est nécessaire mais difficile" (p. 146).
