Il m'appelait Pikolo : un compagnon de Primo Levi raconte
Memoirs of Jean Samuel, a Jew who was born in Alsace in 1922. Pp. 15-60 relate his experiences in Auschwitz. He was deported together with his family to Auschwitz in March 1944. Samuel's father perished there, his brother died in the Golleschau labor camp, and he worked at the Monowitz camp. There he befriended Primo Levi, who gave him the nickname Pikolo. In January 1945 Samuel was sent on a death march and transport to Buchenwald, where he was liberated. He returned to France, as did his mother, who survived several camps. Includes correspondence between Samuel and Levi after the war, as well as quotations from works by Levi.
