The moving true story of psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl’s time as a prisoner in Auschwitz and what we can learn from his experience.
In 1942, just months after marrying his wife, Viktor Frankl and his family were sent first to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and then to Auschwitz. A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Frankl was uniquely able to observe how he and other inmates coped with the horrors of the notorious camp.
During his incarceration, he noticed that those who comforted others and shared their last piece of bread often survived the longest. He saw that the kind of person a prisoner became depended not only on the influence of the camp but also on an inner decision. Those who let go of their moral and spiritual selves eventually fell victim to the camp’s degrading effects; those who resisted were able to turn their suffering into a kind of inner triumph. For Frankl, his experience proved that everything can be taken from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. From this, he came to believe that our deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose.
One of the seminal pieces of literature to emerge from World II, this powerful and inspiring book offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find meaning in the art of living.
