"The Black Hole of Auschwitz" brings together Levi's writings on
the Holocaust and his experiences of the concentration camp, as
well as those on his own accidental status as a writer and his
chosen profession of chemist. In this book Levi rails intelligently
and eloquently against what he saw as the ebb of compassion and
interest in the Holocaust, and the yearly assault on the veracity
and moral weight of the testimonies of its survivors. For Levi, to
keep writing and, through writing, to understand why the Holocaust
could happen, was nothing less than a safeguard against the loss of
a collective memory of the atrocities perpetrated against the
Jewish people.
This moving book not only reveals the care and conviction with
which he wrote about the Holocaust, but also shows the range of
Levi's interests and the skill, thoughtfulness and sensitivity he
brought to all his subjects. The consistency and moral force of
Levi's reflections and the clarity and intimacy of his style will
make this book appeal to a wide readership, including those who
have read and been moved by his masterpiece "If This is a Man."
