false <![CDATA[Survival in Auschwitz]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555421m/6174.jpg 6174 33 <I>Survival in Auschwitz</I> is a mostly straightforward narrative, beginning with Primo Levi's deportation from Turin, Italy, to the concentration camp Auschwitz in Poland in 1943. Levi, then a 24-year-old chemist, spent 10 months in the camp. Even Levi's most graphic descriptions of the horrors he witnessed and endured there are marked by a restraint and wit that not only gives readers access to his experience, but confronts them with it in stark ethical and emotional terms: "[A]t dawn the barbed wire was full of children's washing hung out in the wind to dry. Nor did they forget the diapers, the toys, the cushions and the hundred other small things which mothers remember and which children always need. Would you not do the same? If you and your child were going to be killed tomorrow, would you not give him something to eat today?" <I>--Michael Joseph Gross</I> 851110 book 1947 Se questo è un uomo total:1817|5:873|4:630|3:270|2:40|1:4| 1817 7779 2570 158 5 4 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Mon Jun 04 11:04:37 -0700 2007 Mon Jun 04 11:12:22 -0700 2007
