The Human Race (1947) is an autobiographical novel, or rather a true story, the first and last book by Robert Anthelme (1917-1990), a French writer, poet, and Resistance fighter. It represents a unique testimony describing the dehumanization of people in the camps and the will to live that, despite everything, maintains their humanity.

At first, the book went largely unnoticed, but was eventually translated into several European languages and inspired a number of profound philosophical interpretations of the phenomenon of camp life—the experiences of prisoners, guards, and collaborators. Georges Bataille and Maurice Blanchot, Sarah Kofman and Edgar Morin, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy, Marguerite Duras, and Georges Perec, who asserted that with the publication of this book, literature was born anew, have written about Antelme's book.
