description: Arrested in Paris in 1943, the sixteen-year-old Steinberg was deported to Auschwitz. As a chemistry student, he was assigned to work in the camp's laboratory alongside Primo Levi, who would later immortalize him as "Henri," the prisoner who clung to his life at the cost of his own humanity in Survival in Auschwitz. Fifty years later, in this unsparing act of self-examination, Steinberg ultimately confirms Levi's judgment of "Probably I was that creature, prepared to use whatever means I had available." But he asks, "Is it so wrong to survive?" Author Paul Steinberg was born in Berlin in 1926 and emigrated to France at the age of seven. Deported to Auschwitz in 1943, Steinberg returned after liberation to Paris, where he married and raised two daughters. He worked in business until his death in 1999. Speak You Also has been translated into eleven languages.
