pickShortly after liberation from Auschwitz, Primo Levi & friend Dr Leonardo de Benedetti were asked by Russian authorities to report on conditions & practices in the camp. This is that report.
Republished for a wider audience in 1946, it‘s unemotional but hard-hitting, with a graphic focus on medical states, treatments & squalor. Not one to linger over, it undoubtedly adds to the understanding you get from more personal survivors‘ memoirs.
pickI am always late on posting my read books, i've finished this last last week but anyway😂😂Love this book!! I like how levi love everything about cath, the relationship of the twins with their father, and I relate to some of her problems....I give it a 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went to see the History of Magic exhibit at the NY historical society tonight. Really well done and some original and interesting first drafts and edits and drawings by JK Rowling. Kind of incredible to see how it all started and how talented she is.
I've already started it and it's an objective yet haunting report of what the authors saw and lived through in Auschwitz. Requested by the Soviets after liberating the camp, Levi and Benedetti must try and describe the camp with an almost scientific eye. Nonetheless, in between the lines, the horror still seeps out, often making me go back and make sure I actually read what I just read. #vozesdoholocausto #hol73

pickI need more. I want more of Cath's college experience/life. So many loose ends, but I loved this story. I really loved how the romance was slow burn, the relationship with her sister and her dad, mental illness, writing, school, etc. At one point in the book Cath describes another characters writing as a Waltz, and this book read like one.

This 1990 English translation collects stories from two books of Levi's short stories in Italian- one from 1966 and one from 1977.
I love Levi's short stories, so I'm stretching this prompt for them.
pickPrimo Levi, an #Italian #Jewish #chemist and a #Holocaust #survivor wrote about the living conditions in Auschwitz in this #Auschwitz #Report. The prisoners had to endure deplorable living conditions (meager food, diseases, lack of medical treatment, etc). Since this is a report, it offered an interesting perspective on the events which took place in Auschwitz. #bibliophage #booknerd #WWII #nonfiction #history #readforlife #read150
