Teaching the Holocaust and other Genocides

 

About the Poet

Primo Levi (1919-1943) was an Italian-Jewish chemist from Turin who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp because his skills as a chemist were useful to the Nazis. Levi was arrested and deported to Auschwitz in 1943. Levi was haunted by his war time experiences and committed suicide in 1987.
