Si existe Auschwitz, no puede existir Dios

The concentration camp is the most tragic emblem of the 20th century; the experience that most obliges contemporary man, and especially Europeans, to reflect on the dark aspects of the human condition, on evil and its roots. In this interview, Ferdinando Camon and Primo Levi address the issue in all its breadth: the guilt of being born; the responsibility of those who obey; the comparison between the Nazi Lager and the communist gulag; the Jewish people and the State of Israel; writing as a way of healing... These conversations, which concluded a few months before Levi's death, provide the reader with a clear and definitive synthesis of the author's thoughts on the Shoah.
