This journal tells us about the German Army that occupied Hungary in March 1944, "They assembled all the Jews who could work," says Alfred Lakos, now 79. "My father was about 47 and he was young and strong." Both Laszlo 's father and his uncle were sent to a labour camp. Soon after, his mother, Rozsi Schonberg Lakos, tried to steal her husband's food in a Budapest station. "She failed to wear the yellow star and they called for her paperwork," Alfred says. "We arrested her because of that. "Rozsi died in Auschwitz.

Written in 1947, by Primo Levi telling the events about his time in prison as an Italian Jew. This memoir is a primary source.
The memoir describes the events of Primo Levi’s arrest as a member of the Italian anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War and his imprisonment from February 1944 to the 27th of January 1945 in the Auschwitz concentration camp until its liberation. The autobiography examines the rescue of a number of Jews from the Auscwitz camp during the Nazi Regime.
Primo Levi wrote this memoir to recount the events and the treatment of Jews in the concentration camps by the Nazi party throughout world war 2. The book also shows what great courage and strength looks like in the form of Lorenzo Perrone, a rescuer of a countless number of Jews from the Auschwitz camp.
Levi originally wrote ‘If this is a man’ for the Jewish community and holocaust survivors, however, as the war concluded and the aftermath settled, historians studied what happened in the ghettos and concentration camps and this memoir was extremely relevant.
The memoir has evidential reliability as it is a primary source and corresponds with other information about righteousness among the nations in the concentration camps. The autobiographical elements are also accurate as the memoir is dominated by first-hand experiences and historical events. However, it presents some bias elements as it is written by an Italian Jew and doesn’t include any experiences from the Germans.
This autobiography is written from the perspective of an Italian Jew named Primo Levi who was incarcerated in a Jewish concentration camp during World War 2. After suffering at the hands of the Germans he published a memoir about his experiences after the war concluded.
This source is extremely useful for Historians studying the honour and pride shown by the Jewish people as well as the rescuers who risked everything to save the prisoners in the concentration camps. In particular, for historians studying the events of Lorenzo Perrone’s rescue of Jews from the German Camps.
