Jean Améry
Jean Améry (31 October 1912 – 17 October 1978), born Hanns Chaim Mayer, was an Austrian essayist whose work was often informed by his experiences during World War II.
Formerly a philosophy and literature student in Vienna, Améry's participation in organized resistance against the Nazi occupation of Belgium resulted in his detainment and torture by the German Gestapo, and several years of imprisonment in concentration camps. Améry survived internments in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, and was finally liberated at Bergen-Belsen in 1945. After the war he settled in Belgium.
His most celebrated work, ''At the Mind's Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and Its Realities'' (1966), suggests that torture was "the essence" of the Third Reich. Other notable works included ''On Aging'' (1968) and ''On Suicide: A Discourse on Voluntary Death'' (1976). Améry killed himself in 1978.
== Early life ==
Jean Améry was born in Vienna, Austria in 1912, to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother. His father was killed in action in World War I in 1916. Améry was raised as a Roman Catholic by his mother.〔(Amery: a biographical introduction )〕 Eventually, Améry and his mother returned to Vienna, where he enrolled in university to study literature and philosophy, but economic necessity kept him from regular pursuit of studies there.
