Short biography
Born and educated in Vienna, Amery fled to Belgium in 1935 and joined the Resistance. He was captured by the Gestapo in 1943, tortured, and interred at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Bergen-Belsen. After the war he changed his name from Hans Mayer to Jean Améry to disassociate himself with German culture, and he refused to publish in Germany or Austria for many years. He committed suicide in 1978.
