Final answer:

The value of the expression is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given expression, we start by simplifying the innermost parentheses first:

(-23) - [(-25) - {(-17) - (-19)}]

(-23) - [(-25) - (-2)]

(-23) - [-25 + 2]

(-23) - [-23]

-23 + 23 = 0

The value of the given expression is 0.
