Abstract
Jean Améry (pseudonym of Hans Meyer), a jewish prisoner in Auschwitz, could not stand that the enormous nazi's stain remained unpunished and that Europe made a fresh start so quickly Améry describes both the process of human degradation as a pre-conceived strategy and the questions that this fact triggers in an intellectual; he also describes how the process affects prisoners differently depending on their education, beliefs and moral character.
