 | Survival in Auschwitz by Primo Levi
Originally entitled, IF THIS IS A MAN, Levi's narrative of his experiences at Auschwitz is unique among Holocaust memoirs for its simplicity, its lack of self-pity, and its objectivity; he often emphasizes not his own sufferings but the many instances of goodness he found among his fellow prisoners. In an appendix, Levi stated: [I]n writing this book, I deliberately took on the calm and sober language of a witness, not the plaintive tone of a victim or the outrage of an avenger.
