| Jean Améry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (493 words) |
| 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. |
