If This Is A Man - Primo Levi

This devastating memoir of survival in Auschwitz is nigh on unreviewable. What can I say that could equate to the story told herein? The tone is bleak, honest and incredibly lacking in rage, although a quiet anger does sometimes show through. This would be the perfect introduction to this horrific period for teenage readers, and the most eloquent possible response to those insidious antisemites who deny the Holocaust.
