Survivors of the Nazi extermination camps during World War II are roughly divided into two categories: those who remain silent and those who are able to speak about what happened. Known since the publication of *Is This a Man?*—a memoir about his experience as a Jewish prisoner in Auschwitz—the Italian Primo Levi was one of those who never remained silent. His voice was the first to echo the horrors of the Holocaust, just two years after the war. In *The Drowned and the Survivors*, a book completed in 1986, Levi revisits his first work with critical maturity and seeks to answer questions that, over the years, have persistently gnawed at him in interviews, in common sense, and in the consciences of those who survived: Why didn't the Jews flee? Why didn't they rebel? Can only the Nazis be blamed? These are difficult questions, for which temporal distance and moral reflection were essential. How can we explain the actions and fears of a universe as disparate as the Jews of all Europe, the anti-Nazi politicians, the homosexuals, and the common criminals? How can we seek the same answer among individuals of very different sexes, ages, and social conditions, some from democratic nations in Western Europe and the vast majority from Eastern Europe, who were almost always subjugated to the interests of others? Writing about daily life in Auschwitz—about the blind discipline of the SS; about the morally weakened prisoners who accepted collaborationism as the only way to escape the Final Solution; but above all about the millions denied their future simply because they were born Jewish—Primo Levi creates a work in which every word, every memory, and every perspective aims to clarify to future generations, sufficiently removed from the horror, what the war was like. The Holocaust, the deportations, the trains, the gas chambers, and six million Jews really existed. It was just over half a century ago. This cannot happen again, not even under different guises, interests, and targets. This is the main point of this book. *The Drowned and the Survivors* brings Primo Levi's reflections, which he never kept silent about during his lifetime and which continue to be expressed through his works to this day. This is a fundamental record for future generations to know and understand what the Holocaust was like, and thus to never allow history to repeat itself.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159569875196,"sku":"9788577533466","price":59.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/2fc95c6a6f57df851b87323340605e30_99e5e548-4939-40b6-9720-5eed555b879b.jpg?v=1778876474"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/primo-levi.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
