Resumo: | In the XXth century, with the First and the Second World Wars, there was the emergence of a new man. A man no longer endowed with heroic forces capable of resisting the violence of the new times, but a weakened and vulnerable man. This feeling of disability has taken hold mainly of those who were victim of authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. In the international context, particularly after The Second World War, many Jews, due to decimation and violence suffered, left Europe in search of a less unworthy life in other countries of the world. The Brazilian Jew Joseph Nichthauser is an example of a survivor of the Nazi Shoah. Victim of hunger, irreparable loss, disease, and forced labor, he saw in writing a means to find and assign meaning to his life. In 1972, he published Quero Viver... Memórias de um Ex-Morto, and, in 2003, A Morte de um Carrasco. This paper aims at analyzing violence and oppression exerted on the Jews’ bodies in concentration camps, the animalization to which they were subjected, the disallowance of their religious beliefs, and the immigration process they went through, based on the second book published by the author. A reflection on these items is important because they allow the construction of a new ethics, a new point of view to think about humanity, human relations, and minorities. Elaine Scarry and Walter Benjamin are the main authors who underscore the present approach. |

Trata-se de um homem não mais dotado de forças heroicas capazes de resistir à violência dos novos tempos, mas de um homem fragilizado, vulnerável e debilitado. Esse sentimento de impotência tomou conta principalmente daqueles que foram vítimas dos regimes autoritários e totalitários. No contexto internacional, particularmente, após a Segunda Guerra, muitos judeus, devido à dizimação por que passaram e à violência que sofreram, saíram da Europa em busca de uma vida menos indigna em outros países do mundo. O judeu brasileiro Joseph Nichthauser é um exemplo de sobrevivente da Shoah nazista. Vítima da fome, das perdas irreparáveis, das doenças e dos trabalhos forçados, viu na escrita um meio para encontrar e atribuir um sentido para sua vida. Em 1972, publica Quero viver... memórias de um ex-morto, e, em 2003, lança A morte de um carrasco. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a violência e a opressão exercidas sobre os corpos dos judeus nos campos de concentração, a animalização a que eram submetidos, a desautorização de suas crenças religiosas e o próprio processo de imigração por que passaram, tendo como base o segundo livro publicado pelo autor. A reflexão sobre esses itens é importante porque permite a construção de uma nova ética, um novo ponto de vista para se pensar a humanidade, as relações humanas e as minorias. Para o embasamento desta proposta, buscou-se respaldo em autores como Elaine Scarry e Walter Benjamin.Edunisc2020-01-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://online.unisc.br/seer/index.php/signo/article/view/1430910.17058/signo.v45i82.14309Signo; v. 45 n. 82 (2020); 65-751982-2014reponame:Signo (Santa Cruz do Sul.
