Summary/Abstract: The text discusses two books on the experience of the Extermination: Jean Améry’s”At the Mind’s Limits: Contemplations by a Survivor of Auschwitz and Its Realities” and Primo Levi’s “Drowned and the Saved.” The essayistic reflections by the two writers touch the most significant problems in writing and speaking about Auschwitz, namely the remembrance of the murdered, the obligation of giving a testimony about the Nazi camps and man’s dignity against a dehumanized reality.
