Abstract:
Discusses the impact of the racial laws of 1938 in Italy and of the Holocaust on Primo Levi's Jewish identity. Shows his growing interest in Jewish culture after returning from Auschwitz. Quotes from his writings, illustrating his ways of approaching Jewish tradition, and underlines his laicism - his way of excluding the existence of God because of the existence of Auschwitz.
