The Holocaust in Italian Culture, 1944–2010
The Holocaust in Italian Culture, 1944–2010 is the first major study of how postwar Italy confronted, or failed to confront, the Holocaust. Fascist Italy was the model for Nazi Germany, and Mussolini was Hitler's prime ally in the Second World War. But Italy also became a theater of war and a victim of Nazi persecution after 1943, as resistance, collaboration, and civil war raged. Many thousands of Italians—Jews and others—were deported to concentration camps throughout Europe. After the war, Italian culture produced a vast array of stories, images, and debate through which it came to terms with the Holocaust's difficult legacy. Gordon probes a rich range of cultural material as he paints a picture of this shared encounter with the darkest moment of twentieth-century history. His book explores aspects of Italian national identity and memory, offering a new model for analyzing the interactions between national and international images of the Holocaust.
Interpreting in Nazi Concentration Camps
This significant new study is concerned with the role of interpreting in Nazi concentration camps, where prisoners were of 30 to 40 different nationalities. With German as the only official language in the lager, communication was vital to the prisoners' survival. While in the last few decades there has been extensive research on the language used by the camp inmates, investigation into the mediating role of interpreters between SS guards and prisoners on the one hand, and among inmates on the other, has been almost nonexistent. On the basis of Primo Levi's considerations on communication in the Nazi concentrationary system, this book investigates the ambivalent role of interpreting in the c...

L'ultimo treno
Tra il 1943 e il 1945 più di trentamila persone – uomini, donne, vecchi e bambini – affollano le stazioni dell’Italia centro-settentrionale e partono verso l’ignoto, stipate su treni merci e carri bestiame. L’appassionante studio di Carlo Greppi ricostruisce proprio questa fase essenziale nell’esperienza dei deportati e nella memoria dei salvati, il viaggio verso il lager, e lo fa ripercorrendo le vicende di decine di comunità viaggianti, attraverso le voci di centoventi sopravvissuti. Lo scorrere angosciato del tempo nei vagoni piombati, dove i nazisti sono solo figure sfocate, riempie le narrazioni dei testimoni e accompagna il racconto dei comportamenti dei fascisti, della f...
Auschwitz Testimonies
In 1945, soon after the liberation of Auschwitz, Soviet authorities in control of the Kattowitz (Katowice) camp in Poland asked Primo Levi and his fellow captive Leonardo De Benedetti to compile a detailed report on the sanitary conditions they witnessed in Auschwitz. The result was an extraordinary testimony and one of the first accounts of the extermination camps ever written. Their report, published in a medical journal in 1946, marked the beginnings of Levi’s life-long work as writer, analyst and witness. In the subsequent four decades, Levi never ceased to recount his experiences in Auschwitz in a wide variety of texts, many of which are assembled together here for the first time, alo...
