One of the strongest and most powerful books on the Holocaust, a priceless historical document, and a devastating book focused on a simple, terrible philosophical question. As the original title asks: Is this a man?Featured in my Top 5 20th Century Italian Novels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn6D...
Declaration of humanity by presenting the inhuman, from Primo Levi to us, the rest of the world. We owe it to them. It's our duty to care, to listen, to remember.
Okay, okay, if I read one more Holocaust book, this should be it.
On a parfois l'impression qu'il émane de l'histoire et de la vie une loi féroce que l'on pourrait énoncer ainsi : "Il sera donné à celui qui possède, il sera pris à celui qui n'a rien."
Heel sterke getuigenis, die mooi in beeld brengt wat het eigenlijk is om een mens te zijn wanneer de wereld om je heen wegvalt.
