They are derived from the quantized enveloping algebras $\uqg$. The quantum Lie bracket satisfies a generalization of antisymmetry. Representations of quantum Lie algebras are defined in terms of a generalized commutator. In this paper the recent general results about quantum Lie algebras are introduced with the help of the explicit example of $(sl_2)_h$.Contribution to the Proceedings of the Banach Minisemester on Quantum Groups, Warsaw, November 1995. 8 pages amslatex.
