Primo Levi at the United Nations

Read transcripts: Stella Levi, Dario Disegni, Francesco Cassata, Maaza Mengiste, Roger Cohen, Lidia Santarelli.

The Holocaust and United Nations Outreach Programme in partnership with the Centro Primo Levi New York presented a roundtable discussion titled "After the Holocaust - Primo Levi and the Nexus of Science, Responsibility and Humanism". 

The event took place on 4 May 2016 on the occasion of Yom HaShoah. After a reading of passages from Primo Levi's recently published Complete Works, a panel of scholars and writers explored themes found in Levi's writings including scientific ethics, history and memory, language and transmission, and justice and responsibility. The range of topics highlights Primo Levi's universal appeal and his humanistic legacy.
