(From \"Appendix 1\" of \"Is This Human?\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e While dealing with personal experiences, Levy's work maintains a distance as a witness and witness, capturing the human landscape and distilling a remarkably calm reflection on human destruction and ruin.\u003cbr\u003e He never shows any pain. \u003cbr\u003eI only witness and record its fundamental conditions, its vivid situation.\u003cbr\u003e With a thoroughly cool yet human perspective, most vividly and most heartbreakingly.\u003cbr\u003e In doing so, his work shows that we must revisit Auschwitz not simply to sympathize with the Jews, condemn the Germans, or praise the survivors.\u003cbr\u003e It persuades us to universalize that suffering to a human level, to accept it as our historical wound, and to truly overcome it.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, the nature of the madness and violence he witnessed was not something onto which he could project his personal anger. \u003cbr\u003eBecause, as Hannah Arendt so aptly put it in her phrase “the banality of evil,” it does not originate from a single evil monster, but from the collective power of ordinary, good, and obedient citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Their thoughts were usually abnormal, foolish, or cruel.\u003cbr\u003e But they were welcomed and millions of followers followed them until their deaths.\u003cbr\u003e It should be remembered that these followers, including those who diligently carried out his unspoken orders, were (with a few exceptions) ordinary human beings, not natural torturers or monsters.\u003cbr\u003e Monsters exist, but their numbers are so small that they pose little threat to us.\u003cbr\u003e Ordinary people, technicians who are ready to believe and obey without question, are much more dangerous. \u003cbr\u003eEichmann, Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz, Stangl, the commandant of Treblinka, the French soldiers who committed massacres in Algeria 20 years later, and the American soldiers who committed massacres in Vietnam 30 years later are such people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “If Levi had not committed suicide, everything would have been much simpler and clearer,” Todorov said.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout his work, and even through his death, Levy raises the questions of 'what it means to be a witness to history' and 'why and how should we remember history?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Is This a Man?\" is the testimony of a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp.\u003cbr\u003e This book is remarkable not only for its personal experience, but also for its profound and universal testimony to the crisis of modern humanity itself. \u003cbr\u003eThis book not only testifies to the brutal events of the past, but also goes a step further, bearing witness to the chilling danger that such testimony might never be conveyed. (From the \"Work Commentary\" in \"Is This Human?\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Levi's intense and delicate reflections will likely have much to suggest about the conflicts and confrontations occurring in our society today over the memories of the past and the interpretation of history. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 12, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 340 pages | 447g | 146*205*30mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788971992647\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8971992646 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891504021546,"sku":"134169","price":21.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/ffc78b34e515bacb3c4ecc2eedab152f.jpg?v=1765327296","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/134169","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
