About this listen
Translated by Stuart Woolf.
'With the moral stamina and intellectual poise of a twentieth-century Titan, this slightly built, dutiful, unassuming chemist set out systematically to remember the German hell on earth, steadfastly to think it through, and then to render it comprehensible in lucid, unpretentious prose. He was profoundly in touch with the minutest workings of the most endearing human events and with the most contemptible. What has survived in Levi's writing isn't just his memory of the unbearable, but also, in The Periodic Table and The Wrench, his delight in what made the world exquisite to him. He was himself a magically endearing man, the most delicately forceful enchanter I've ever known.' (Philip Roth)

The stuff of nightmares
I've read/listened to a bunch of Holocaust memoirs and this is by far the most detailed account, and thus most disturbing, one I've come across.

Eye-opening
This book was eye-opening to me. The truth of Holocaust that not everyone is aware of. I really hope this book will reach the younger generation of Americans

An interesting insight
A good read for those of the younger generation to understand how bad the human race can be to itself. The book covers Levi's life in the camps and his long journey home after the defeat of Germany. The part in the camp fills the reader with disgust at how such a human condition can be allowed to happen. The journey home is something of which most readers will be unaware (I would have assumed the survivors were fixed up and sent home) although it does drag in parts.

Henry Goodman could not have been better.
Goodman's tone and cultivated attack embodies Levi's graceful character.
His pronunciation of foreign names amazes.
