Lorenzo's Shoes by Carlo Greppi (Rizzoli) intertwines the lives of Lorenzo and Primo Levi in the Auschwitz concentration camp, where time seems suspended and the future closed. In this most inhumane of places, the two men build, day after day, a circle of resistance made of simple gestures and unspoken closeness. Through small, everyday gestures, a circle of solidarity is born that becomes salvation and memory. Lorenzo's silent help to Primo breaks the isolation and allows dignity to circulate, transforming their friendship into a point of light around which they gather to avoid disappearing. With him is Matteo Corradini.
