The Jewish Question

“I was turned into a Jew by others.”

—Primo Levi, interview with Edith Bruck,

Il Messaggero, 1976

“Until these months [of 1938] it had not

meant much to me that I was a Jew. Within

myself, and in my contacts with my Christian

friends, I had always considered my origin as an

almost negligible but curious fact: a small amusing

anomaly, like having a crooked nose or freckles.”

—Primo Levi, The Periodic Table, 1975

“If it hadn’t been for the racial laws and

the concentration camps, I’d probably no longer

be a Jew, except for my last name.”

—Primo Levi, interview with Ferdinando Camon,

in Conversations with Primo Levi, 1987
