Book Title: At the Mind's Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor on Auschwitz and its Realitie

Author: Jean Amery

Selection Statement:

At the Mind's Limits is a powerful book in which Jean Amery puts into the proper perspective the travails that one faces on a daily basis. Furthermore, he reminds the reader that one must always do what is right as oposed to what is expedient or popular, and that one must never appease that which is wrong. This book is neither easy to read nor pleasant, but the reader will find that this work is of great moral value.
