Jenseits von Schuld und Sühne

With his 1966 essay collection Jenseits von Schuld und Sühne, Jean Améry became one of the most prominent voices among the survivors of Auschwitz. “In Améry’s unyielding and at the same time nervously attentive reflection, experiences of past suffering are transformed into learning material for future life.” (Helmut Heißenbüttel).
