While in a Russian-administered holding camp in Katowice, Poland,
in 1945, Primo Levi was asked to provide a report on living
conditions in Auschwitz. Published the following year, it was
subsequently forgotten and remained unknown to a wider public.
Dating from the weeks and months immediately after the war,
Auschwitz Report details the authors' harrowing deportation to
Auschwitz, and how those who disembarked from the train were
selected for work or extermination. As well as being a searing
narrative of everyday life in the camp, and the organization and
working of the gas chambers, it constitutes Levi's first lucid
attempts to come to terms with the raw horror of events that would
drive him to create some of the greatest works of twentieth-century
literature and testimony. Auschwitz Report is a major literary and
historical discovery.
