This conference delves into the complex relationship between testimony, storytelling and being-towards-death in the writings of Primo Levi. The reserved Jewish chemist and antifascist partisan from Turin is\u00a0not only one of the most important writers of twentieth-century Italian literature, but also one of the most\u00a0lucid witnesses of the Shoah.<\/p>\n
