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: https://t.co/ELTVEE1wdV

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
