Summary:  "In his final book before his death, Primo Levi returns to his time at Auschwitz in a moving meditation on memory, resiliency, and the struggle to comprehend unimaginable tragedy. Drawing on history, philosophy, and his own personal experiences, Levi asks if we have already begun to forget about the Holocaust. He breaks his book into eight essays, ranging from topics like the unreliability of memory to how violence twists both the victim and the victimizer. He shares how difficult it is for him to tell his experiences with his children and friends. He also debunks the myth that most of the Germans were in the dark about the Final Solution or that Jews never attempted to escape the camps. A lesson in the resiliency of the human spirit. As the Holocaust recedes into the past and fewer and fewer survivors are left to tell their stories, The Drowned and the Saved is a vital first-person testament. Primo Levi is remembered as one of the most powerful and perceptive writers on the Holocaust and the Jewish experience during World War II. Primo Levi (1919-1987) was an Italian Jewish chemist, writer, and Holocaust survivor. His books include If This Is a Man (1947), an account of the year he spent as a prisoner in the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland, and The Periodic Table (1975), describing the qualities of the elements, which the Royal Institution of Great Britain named the best science book ever written."--Provided by publisher.
