Primo Levi

It's sad to think about the journey of Primo Levi. A chemist who was taken to Auschwitz, he survives the experience and writes a harrowing and gripping account of the experience. I saw a video where he revisited Auschwitz nearly 40 years later. He committed suicide shortly after that. How much of a burden did these experiences weigh on Levi for his life? The mantle of being a survivor and to have to speak to what happened for the rest of your life must be heavy indeed.
