[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Describes the challenges inherent in literary transmission of Holocaust testimony, especially in cases where translation is involved. Insana explores these issues through readings of the translations of works by Jewish-Italian Holocaust survivor Levi Primo in relation to, rather than apart from, his other writings (notably, his 1947 memoir If This Be a Man, Survival in Auschwitz in English).
