Primo Levi'sSi c'est un homme is a classic of concentration literature about his months at Monowitz-Buna, part of the vast Auschwitz complex. La Trêve is the story of his return. The camp was liberated by the Russian army on January 27, 1945, but Primo Levi did not return home to Turin until October 19, 1945. Between these two dates, the author takes us on an odyssey through a bloodless and disorganized Europe, where life is trying to resume. Accompanied by his Italian comrades, he crosses Poland, the USSR, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Germany... A picaresque tale, both funny and bittersweet, as moving as it is warm. Absolutely human.
Texts read by Mathieu Amalric, actor.
So we'll see you at the Shoah Memorial for the 21st Nuit des Musées, folks?
