### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrible history and a story that absolutely has to be told
*by S***E on 23 October 2025*

What a book, what a story, should be made compulsory in schools, so sorry he couldn't live with himself for surviving

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ clearly printed and legible
*by O***N on 4 December 2025*

Clearly printed and legible.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A dignified, informative and endlessly moving account of the 'Lager'
*by D***S on 1 December 2013*

At first, and until he reaches 'The Bottom' If This Is A Man is an almost unbearable read. In fact, I felt sick because although I have read a decent amount about the suffering of the Jews, nothing I have read has quite captured the utter despair and wretchedness of being sent into the pit of hell in such a defeated, but dignified, manner. There is no attempt to describe the squalid minutiae of the privations suffered by the deportees; instead, Levi focuses, at times as though disconnected, on the humiliation, the deprivation and the complete dulling of the senses. But, from 'The Bottom', Levi outlines how the strong survived, how there was more than luck in surviving the constant hunger and work and selections, and the ways that certain prisoners triumphed through their ingenuity. He understands what a man has to do to live, and only once does he really, really judge a prisoner triumphing in his luck at escaping selection, when he wishes God would spit on the spared man's prayers. Throughout the whole book, Levi never tries (I suppose he doesn't have to!)to invoke pity, he just tries to make you understand life and death in the Lager. This is the true beauty of If This Is A Man. It spares you much of the gore and the filth and the madness - it just explains it all quietly, relatively dispassionately and with such humanity. It's a beautiful read written by a beautiful and intelligent man. You must read this.
