The result was an extraordinary testimony and one of the first accounts of the extermination camps ever written. Their report, published in a medical journal in 1946, marked the beginnings of Levi’s life-long work as a writer, analyst, and witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the subsequent four decades, Levi never ceased to recount his experiences in Auschwitz in a wide variety of texts, many of which are assembled together here for the first time, alongside other testimonies from De Benedetti. From early research into the fate of their companions to the deposition written for Eichmann’s trial, \u003ci\u003eAuschwitz Testimonies\u003c\/i\u003e is a rich mosaic of documents, memories, and critical reflections of great historic and human value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderpinned by his characteristically clear language, rigorous method, and deep psychological insight, this collection of testimonies, reports, and analyses reaffirms Primo Levi’s position as one of the most important chroniclers of the Holocaust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000546246892,"sku":"9781509513376","price":35.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12156013482725.jpg?v=1763283631"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/leonardo-de-benedetti.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
