In April 1945, Jean Amery was liberated from the Bergen Belsen
concentration camp. A Jewish and political prisoner, he had been
brutally tortured by the Nazis, and had also survived both
Auschwitz and other infamous camps. His experiences during the
Holocaust were made famous by his book At the Mind's Limits:
Contemplations by a Survivor of Auschwitz and Its Realities. Essays
on Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, and the Left features a collection
of essays by Amery translated into English for the first time.
Although written between 1966 and 1978, Amery's insights remain
fresh and contemporary, and showcase the power of his thought.
Originally written when leftwing antisemitism was first on the
rise, Amery's searing prose interrogates the relationship between
anti-Zionism and antisemitism and challenges the international left
to confront its failure to think critically and reflectively.
