Summary
Matteo Mastragostino and Alessandro Ranghiasci: Primo Levi
In the middle of World War II in Italy, a young Italian chemist of Jewish origin, Primo Levi, was arrested by Italian fascists and handed over to the Germans, who took him to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz - he called it Lager, which is the German word for concentration camp - where he survived partly by sheer luck and partly because he was sent to work in a factory as a chemist. artificial rubber in slave conditions. "I remember the death of Primo Levi well. It is the memory of a barely ten-year-old boy. That's why I decided to tell the story of Primo Levi, whom I was able to meet before his death. What could Levi have said to the boy Matteo, thirty years ago? This comic is not the history of Primo Levi, his biography, but the history of my Primo Levi. With this story, I close the circle of news that I heard thirty years ago, and it remained a burden in my soul. The story of my Primo Levi, a man who fought bravely and who knew how to persevere, even above all when it would have been easier to succumb."
