Discusses the suicide of Jean Amery and the suspected suicide of Primo Levi. There is a great deal of similarity between them. They were both assimilated Jews - they were each confronted with the political phenomenon of fascism, and eventually each had their Jewish identity forced upon them. The 'fame' of survival was a key conponent of the depression they suffered at the end of their lives
