Primo Levi is one of my most beloved writers. I remember that I cried when he, as many others nazi camps survivors, took his own life some years ago. The poem is one of the most powerful on Auschwitz; Marcelloblues before on the thread said that "is related to hard workin' and bein' left down" but the poem is on Auschwitz, and on the terrible fear that Levi had that what had happened there could be forgotten, or not believed. But I have never heard that someone had made a song of it; if it's true, I would like to know where I can find it. By the way, the last translation by Guest,me is very good.
