The story follows the "Just Men" of the Levy family over eight centuries. Each Just Man is a Lamed Vav, one of the thirty-six righteous souls whose existence justifies the purpose of humankind to God.[3] Each "bear the world's pains... beginning with the execution of an ancestor in 12th-century York, England... culminat[ing] in the story of a schoolboy, Ernie, the last... executed at Auschwitz."[4] It has been described as an enduring classic that reminds "how easily torn is the precious fabric of civilization, and how destructive are the consequences of dumb hatred-whether a society's henchmen are permitted to beat an Ernie Levy because he's Jewish, or because he's black or gay or Hispanic or homeless."[5] Gilbert Highet, a Book-of-the-Month Club judge called it, "the saddest novel I have ever read, almost as sad as history."[6]References1. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=lQgOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CnkDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5475,1250481&dq=the+last+of+the+just+andr%C3%A9+schwarz-bart] January 22, 1961 St. Petersburg Times {{DEFAULTSORT:Last of the Just, The}}2. ^R.Z.
