An interesting overview of the 'remnants' of Auschwitz. Looks at and summarises key ideas about the true witness of the Shoah (the survivor or the so-called muselmann).

Touches on elements of humanism and the meaning of being a human being.

One of the best books of philosophy I’ve read. How do we define the human after Auschwitz? What does it mean to witness evil?

La tesis y los argumentos son muy, muy interesantes, pero en ocasiones se hace un tanto farragoso e incluso reiterativo. Pero en general me ha gustado muchísimo: da una perspectiva sobre la brutalidad que sufrió el pueblo judío y todas y cada una de sus consecuencias psicológicas y humanitarias que no suele ser la convencional, y sin embargo es también plenamente acertada.

What I understood deeply moved me; granted, there was much that I couldn't follow. Fortuitously, a good friend recommend that I purchase the book. So I, like other goodreaders, will give it a second go in a few months and see what additional information I can gather.
