If This is a Man, published in the United States under the title Survival in Auschwitz, is Primo Levi's account of his experiences during WW2. Levi was captured by the Fascist Militia in 1943 and was taken to an internment camp. In February 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz, where he stayed for eleven months.

Levi combines chilling descriptions with observations about what it means to be human, what people will do to survive under extreme circumstances, the importance of food, of warmth, of things we take for granted.
