In 1947, while trying to find an American publisher for "Se questo è un Uomo" [If This Is a Man], Levi sent a copy of the manuscript to his cousin Anna Foa Yona in Boston. Her daughters donated that original manuscript to @HolocaustMuseum in 2016: collections.ushmm.org/search…
Primo Levi, born #OTD in 1919, survived Auschwitz as a young man. He detailed his experiences there in his memoir, "If This Is a Man" (also known as "Survival in Auschwitz"). Today, it is considered one of the most significant literary accounts of the Holocaust. 📷: Yad Vashem

We mourn the loss of Ben Ferencz, who worked so tirelessly for human rights and dedicated his life to seeking justice. May his memory be for a blessing.
Today the world lost a leader in the quest for justice for victims of genocide and related crimes. We mourn the death of Ben Ferencz—the last Nuremberg war crimes prosecutor. At age 27, with no prior trial experience, he secured guilty verdicts against 22 Nazis.
