Primo Levi conceptualized his experience of Auschwitz as a university, a difficult space of learning and encountering people throughout Europe, a place to observe and remember human behavior and interactions. Auschwitz influenced the writing he produced in response to trauma and its memory. The metaphor of the university is an important one as it returns life to the survivor and catalyzes the transformation of grave suffering into knowledge and meaning, a lifetime education that reflects, for Levi, in the body of his written work.

摘要

Primo Levi conceptualized his experience of Auschwitz as a university, a difficult space of learning and encountering people throughout Europe, a place to observe and remember human behavior and interactions. Auschwitz influenced the writing he produced in response to trauma and its memory. The metaphor of the university is an important one as it returns life to the survivor and catalyzes the transformation of grave suffering into knowledge and meaning, a lifetime education that reflects, for Levi, in the body of his written work.
