Event Description

On the 50th anniversary of Primo Levi's Periodic Table, a celebration of the book from many perspectives. Speakers will address the impact of this influential memoir/collection of stories. Levi observed his life—his Italian Jewish community, his time as a chemist and as a partisan, and then his imprisonment in Auschwitz—with wry humor, compassion, and the lucidity of a scientist doing a lab report.
