The Last of the Just by Andre Schwarz-Bart
THE BOOK: In every generation, according to Jewish tradition, thirty-six just men, the Lamed-waf, are born to take the burden of the world's suffering upon themselves. At York in 1185 the just man was Rabbi Yom Tov Levey, whose sacrifice so touched God that he gave his descendants one just man each generation, all the way down to Ernie Levey, the last of the just, killed at Auschwitz in 1943. This, then, is the story of Ernie Levey.
Andre Schwarz-Bart (1928-) was born in France to a family of Polish Jews. He went to the Sorbonne and at the age of fifteen he joined the French Resistance. While writing he worked in a factory and in Les Halles, the large vegetable market in Paris. His book The Last of the Just won the Prix Goncourt in 1959. He died on 30th September 2006.
