Starting September 24
In-Person
Survival in Auschwitz was written immediately after Primo Levi returned to his home in Turin, Italy, after his imprisonment for eleven months in the death camp. He observed the camp as not only a prisoner, but also as a scientist observing human nature under the most dire and extreme conditions. We will also learn about the situation in Italy which led to the deportations in 1943.
