In the Nazi concentration camps, questions did not disappear. They became dangerous. Why live when death is everywhere?
Why endure when hope is gone?
Why remain human in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human? Told through four voices linked by one place and one crime, A World Without Why follows a young girl who survives and remembers, a camp commandant who believes cruelty is a duty, a Polish clerk who disappears yet keeps appearing in her dreams, and a German guard who risks showing kindness in a system built on fear. In a world where there was no why, the pursuit of meaning never ceased. It became the sole focus left. Surendra Verma is a science writer and author based in Melbourne, Australia, since 1970. He has published numerous popular science books in Australia, the UK, the US and India, which have been translated into 14 languages other than English.
