War, Anger & Revenge | If Not Now, When? (Primo Levi) BOOK REVIEW

[transcript]


Will the Jews ever find a peaceful resting place?

'If Not Now, When?' by Primo Levi is a fictional story of Jewish partisans surviving behind German lines during WWII. It follows Mendel as he tries to forget about his suffering/pain but is constantly reminded of his deceased wife and the uprooting of his life. He joins a band trying to escape the horrors of war but is constantly drawn into conflict and revenge.
