About
Why this artist matters now
Lorenzo Perrone born in Fossano, Italy, was an Italian mason who was transferred by his company to work at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944. There he met and befriended Jewish-Italian prisoner Primo Levi for whom he provided food and other assistance. After the war, he struggled to cope with what he had witnessed in Auschwitz and became an alcoholic, eventually dying of tuberculosis in 1952.
