The Nazi concentration camps and the Soviet gulag provide the
context for this acclaimed examination of the human capacity for
moral life. Drawing on a striking array of documents, Tzvetan
Todorov reconstructs a vivid portrait of the conduct of those who
ran the camps and those who suffered their outrages. Challenging
the widespread view that moral life was extinguished in the extreme
circumstances of the camps, he uncovers instead a rich moral
universe, composed not of grand acts of heroism but of ordinary
gestures of dignity and care, compassion and solidarity.
A complex and profound study, "Facing the Extreme "restores a lost
dimension to this anguished history, even as it offers an eloquent
plea for the recognition of everyday virtues as a basis for
contemporary morality.
