Primo Levi emerged from the Holocaust as one of the powerful voices to bear witness to the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps. This work analyzes Levi's novels, short stories, and essays to reveal a writer who eloquently evoked the soul of the persecuted Jew but who never came to terms with the guilt of his own survival.
