The r percussions
"We must therefore be proud of those who seek
convincing us with other voices than that of reason."
Primo Levi
Port e du t moignage
Primo Levi is starting to write If it’s a man His return from Aushwitz, having had it on Image during his presentation. He then proposed to Einaudi, the great publisher, to publish it, but he refused. Fortunately, a small publishing house granted him a publication in 1947, but his work did not immediately have a big success: people were not ready to become truly aware of the Shoah; we do not believe this moignage. However, a few years later, in Turin, an exhibition on portation opened, and it was like a renaissance for the mooding of Primo Levi. Einaudi will therefore propose a new publication to him in 1958, which this time has a notable audience: very quickly the book is translated into several languages and becomes world-famous. Then, this work will not cease to be imprim e. Until his death, Primo Levi will continue to mock you, to recount his experience, how it was broken by the Lager and how he used to preserve his dignity: in his mockery. The work of Primo Levi constitutes a strong mooing in images and movements. He expressed his feelings through a simple, spontan style of writing, but not without effect. His work is touching, both from a human point of view and purely litt raire.

For many people, the truth is that if it’s a man, it’s still part of the port s wedding ceremony. In school textbooks or in historians' files, everywhere there are excerpts from this work. At the appearance of video art and romanticism, Primo Levi will strengthen his modeling in order to convince the voters of the subject who, according to him, must not fall into oblivion. His life will then be devoted to this fight, but without closing up in his own way: he will take part in numerous missions and write press articles about the current situation, and will often give his own opinion during certain Italian battles. His increasingly poignant oral testimonies as well as his interviews will only strengthen the public opinion that considers Primo Levi’s testimonial as one of the main elements that contributed to the awareness of the Holocaust in Europe.
