Primo Levi's tale of surviving the horrors of Auschwitz was memorialized in
a book that, for many, is the key text of the Holocaust. In recounting his
story in "If This Is a Man" (translated in the United States as
"Survival in Auschwitz"), Levi became a spokesperson for an entire
generation of Jews. After Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army in January
1945, it took Levi nearly a year to make it back to his home in Turin. As the
war was still underway, Levi and six hundred other survivors were put on a
train and sent eastwards from the front. The long trip that ensued was a
strange mixture of wonder, regeneration, confusion and boredom. At the same
time, each person was coming to grips with the fact that they had survived.
Here, Primo Levi's journey is retraced step by step.

holocaust that was more touching than his first book "Ist das ein Mensch".
