Auschwitz Report

Dating from the weeks and months immediately after the war, *Auschwitz Report* represents a fascinating and unusual return to the very earliest phase of Holocaust testimony. *Auschwitz Report* details the author’s harrowing account of his deportation to Auschwitz, and how those who disembarked from the train were selected for work and extermination, as well as a searing narrative of everyday life in the camp, and the organization and working of the gas chambers. It constitutes Levi’s first lucid attempts to come to terms with the raw horror of events that would drive him to create some of the greatest works of twentieth-century literature and testimony. *Auschwitz Report* is a major literary and historical discovery.
