Yet Levi was not only a victim or a witness. In the fall of 1943, at the very start of the Italian Resistance, he was a fighter, participating in the first attempts to launch guerrilla warfare against occupying Nazi forces. Those three months have been largely overlooked by Levi's biographers; indeed, they went strikingly unmentioned by Levi himself. For the rest of his life he barely acknowledged that autumn in the Alps. But an obscure passage in Levi's The Periodic Table hints that his deportation to Auschwitz was linked directly to an incident from that time: "an ugly secret" that had made him give up the struggle, "extinguishing all will to resist, indeed to live." What did Levi mean by those dramatic lines? Using extensive archival research, Sergio Luzzatto's groundbreaking Primo Levi's Resistance reconstructs the events of 1943 in vivid detail. Just days before Levi was captured, Luzzatto shows, his group summarily executed two teenagers who had sought to join the partisans, deciding the boys were reckless and couldn't be trusted. The brutal episode has been shrouded in silence, but its repercussions would shape Levi's life. Combining investigative flair with profound empathy, Primo Levi's Resistance offers startling insight into the origins of the moral complexity that runs through the work of Primo Levi himself"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 "An investigation of Primo Levi's brief career as a fighter with the Italian Resistance in 1943, focusing particularly on an incident in which two young men sought to join his partisan group but were judged untrustworthy and summarily executed"-- |cProvided by publisher. 546 Translated from the Italian. 600 10 Levi, Primo, |d1919-1987 |=^A166576 600 17 Levi, Primo. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00035777 |?UNAUTHORIZED 611 27 German Occupation of Italy (1943-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353177 |?UNAUTHORIZED 611 07 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 |?UNAUTHORIZED 611 27 World War (1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 0 Jews |zItaly |vBiography. |=^A489566 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |zItaly |vBiography. |=^A193181 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xUnderground movements |zItaly. |=^A41307 651 0 Italy |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1943-1945. |=^A86822 651 0 Italy |vBiography. |=^A562311 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 Underground movements, War. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01355184 651 7 Italy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204565 |?UNAUTHORIZED 650 7 Motståndsrörelser. |2sao 650 7 Förintelsen. |2sao 650 7 Andra världskriget 1939-1945. |2sao 650 7 Italien. |2sao 651 7 Biografi. |2saogf |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1939 - 1945 |2fast 655 7 Biography. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Randall, Frederika |etranslator. |=^A1290579 949 |i30372016619584 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s30.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 4404987
