The death of Primo Levi

Witness History

Available for over a year

It is 25 years since the great Italian author died. He had fallen down the stairwell of his apartment block. Many believe he killed himself. But he left behind one of the most compelling accounts of surviving Auschwitz - If This Is A Man - as well as poetry and fiction. Photo: AFP/Getty Images
