A chilling account of the author's experiences in Auschwitz, and a reflection on the aftermath of the Holocaust over 40 years later. Levi's book is concerned with how the history of the atrocities will or won't be remembered, as more time passes between the Holocaust and the present day. A story which is all too relevant to today's world, as anti-semitism and white nationalism creep further and further into mainstream discourse. Fine / Fine. Item #000012522
