This book, published months after Italian writer Primo Levi's suicide in 1987, is a small but powerful look at Auschwitz, the hell where Levi was imprisoned during World War II. The book was his third on the subject, following Survival in Auschwitz (1947) and The Reawakening (1963). Removed from the experience by time and age, Levi chose to serve more as an observer of the camp than the passionate young man of his previous work. He writes of "useless violence" inflicted by the guards on prisoners and then concludes the book with a discussion of the Germans who have written to him about their complicity in the event. In all, he tries to make sense of something that--as he knew--made no sense at all.

From Library Journal
Renowned Italian author Levi, an Auschwitz survivor, finished this contemplation of the Holocaust before his death in 1987. Observing a general loss of understanding about Nazi Germany as time passes and eyewitnesses die, he asks, "How much of the concentration camp world is dead? . . . What can each of us do so that in this world pregnant with threats at least this threat will be nullified?" Levi's answer is a thoughtful analysis of the process that was the camps, and his chilling conclusions about the conditions that created them are uncomfortably relevant to current events. Highly recommended. Starr E. Smith, Georgetown Univ. Lib., Washington, D.C.

Fans of Elie Wiesel will love this book even more than Night or Dawn. I don't mean any disrespect to Wiesel, but Levi is much more of a great writer and all his books are much more moving and well-written than Wiesel's. Unfortunately, Levi committed suicide soon after writing his great books, but after you read his accounts, you'll understand why. He has produced the best Holocaust narratives in existence -- you'd be naive not to read them and compare them to any others you've read.

This is the most thought-provoking and informative book I've ever read about life in the Death Camps. Levi's honesty and compassion are on every page. I recommend it highly.

The message for all of mankind out of the Holocaust visited upon European Jews, gypsies and other assorted "undesirables" has to be: Never Again. Primo Levi did an immeasurable service to western civilization in documenting so eloquently and powerfully his reflections on the greatest crime in human history. A survivor of Auschwitz by a combination of luck and skill (documented with rare clarity and mundane, brutal honesty in Survival at Auschwitz and The Reawakening) Levi returned to his native Italy and his work as a chemist - but he could never forget the horror visited upon himself and millions of others in similar situations. We are fortunate that an intelligent, humanistic mind survived long enough to give us this reminder - Never Again. Sadly, as Levi recognized, even a lesson of this magnitude cannot be wholly learned when good people are willing to stand by and let evil be done. Pol Pot's excesses in Cambodia before Levi's death, the Serbians in ! the former Yugoslovia since Levi's death, are two more examples. In my mind, Levi's body of literature is the defining memorial to the Holocaust, with a greater effect than, for example, the Holocaust Memorial in Washington D.C. (which is actually not a memorial but a timed entry exhibition) or Spielberg's Schindler's List. The moral question - how could any society be responsible for such an unspeakable atrocity against God and their own humanity? - must be addressed with unflinching honesty and clarity. Levi asks that question from a rare vantage point. Sadly, all too few take the time to listen to the answer.
