	Jean Améry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jean Améry (October 31, 1912 – October 17, 1978) was an Austrian of Jewish descent, noted for having written At the Mind's Limits, one of the central texts on the Nazi death camps.
		Amery's reading brought him to an intriguing philosophical dilemma: as he writes, "I wanted by all means to be an anti-Nazi, that most certainly, but of my own accord; I was not yet ready to take Jewish destiny upon myself".
		After the war, he changed his name to Jean Améry (a French anagram of his given name) in order to symbolise his disassociation with Germany and newfound affinity with the French.

		Jean also says, "...You didn't forgive and it was certainly your right, and if you had said words of forgiveness in a fit of emotion, that would have been legitimate too.
		Jean Amery ended up not sharing his opinion on what he would of done, but rather gave Simon comfort and a sense that there was no right or wrong response to give a man on the brink of death.
		Amery however responded by stating that he saw it merely from a political perspective, that whether Wiesenthal had forgiven the SS officer or not did not really matter to him, that this moral dillema was to him a mere political question.

	Amazon.co.uk: On Suicide: A Disclosure on Voluntary Death: Books: Jean Amery,John D. Barlow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Jean Amery thought of "On Suicide" as a continuation of the kind of reflections on mortality he had laid down in "On Aging".
		Although religion and society may treat suicide as an unnatural and absurd act, Amery claims that it is no less natural and absurd than many other forms of living and dying - and in many cases is more natural and reasonable than other alternatives an individual may face.
		As he did in "On Aging", Amery approaches the subject of suicide in a series of reflective literary essays, more philosophical than they are sociological or psychological.

	Oana-Valentina Suciu, The Issue of Guilt, Punishment and Forgiveness - Comments on "At the Mind's Limits", by ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Amery's emotional arguments are rooted in moral precepts, while philosophic arguments about the rule of the law are wrapped in terms of tactical and judicial problems.
		Jean Amery is himself the hole in the world the rabbis talk about in the Talmud.
		Along all the essays Amery refuses to take distance (the person that he is using is either "me" or "we") and although he claims that he gives just a testimony, by just describing the situation, he is speculating and interpreting phenomenologically, he approaches the limits of reason.

	Amazon.com: At the Mind's Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and its Realities: Books: Jean Amery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Amery did not only pick up a new French-sounding name, but (although this book was originally written in German) apparently also the circumlocutionary style of the French.
		Amery is dissatisfied with the world, because after the war, Germany was not permanently turned into a potato patch as the Morgenthau plan had envisaged it.
		Prior to reading Amery's book, I thought of myself as thoroughly read in what one French scholar has called "the writing of the disaster," but Amery's may be among the half dozen essential texts in the now overwhelming body of Holocaust literature.

	Abstracts from the forthcoming issue of JHR
		Beginning with a critique of Nietzsche's negative account, ARNE JOHAN VETLESEN attempts to develop a case for the justifiability of resentment by examining the contrasting positions taken by Holocaust survivors Primo Levi and Jean Amery.
		He argues that Amery's self-consciously confrontational stance, exemplifying the provocative thrust of resentment toward one's tormentors, represents a valid if highly selective point of view.
		Victims' experience-based resentment, and the stubborn denial to forget past misdeeds that goes with it, provides an invaluable corrective to the perspectives of perpetrators and bystanders alike.
