Ethics after Auschwitz? Primo Levi's and Elie Wiesel's Response demonstrates how after their
horrific experiences in Auschwitz both Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel could have deservedly
expressed rage and bitterness for the rest of their lives. Housed in the same barracks in the
depths of hell a dark reality surpassing Dante's vivid images portrayed in The Inferno they
chose to speak write and work for a better world never allowing the memory of those who did
not survive to fade. Why and how did they make this choice? What influenced their values before
Auschwitz and their moral decision making after it? What can others who have suffered less
devastating traumas learn from them? «The quest is in the question» Wiesel often tells his
students. This book is a quest for hope and goodness emerging from the Shoah's deepest «night».
