Abstract

Améry’s morality was not the result of any philosophical deliberation, nor of any religious persuasion, but rather of his own very personal historical experience. He is a victim, confronted with the immorality of history, a writer in revolt, in the cause of his fellow victims and the threatened and injured individual altogether. Cast out from the German-language community by his fate during the Third Reich, he nonetheless attained a voice that was distinct among German writers of his time. His prose, hardened by the experience of Auschwitz, and tempered by irony, is a response to the onsets of actuality against his vulnerable person. For him, whoever has succumbed to torture can no longer feel at home in the world. The shame of destruction cannot be erased.
