Man's Search for MeaningThis book was written as an account of one person's involvement in a concentration camp during the Second World War and the psychology of the prisoners who were there with him to experience the meaning. difficult and difficult times every day. That of Viktor Frankl was part of this experience, alongside his wife, his father, his mother and his brother, all of whom died in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. All endured extreme hunger, cold and cruelty, first at Auschwitz and then at Dachau; Frankl himself was constantly threatened with going to the gas chambers. He lost all his possessions on his first day in the camps and was forced to abandon a scientific manuscript he considered his life's work. Viktor begins his story with his entry into Auschwitz. He explains how, as he entered the death camp: he and his companions held out a slight hope of being rescued at the last possible moment. He tells this to a condemned man believing that he will be saved before being executed. He defines this feeling as "the illusion of reprieve" and remembers that when getting off the train after arriving at Auschwitz, people were separated into two lines, one for men and one for women. In the process, everything was taken away from them. They finally found a man who pointed them in a direction to the left or right. One path was to the crematoria, the other to a cleaning station. Frankl then goes on to talk about the second phase of imprisonment that took place after prison. The initial shock has lessened a little. He explains how numbness comes over a prisoner and how he was able to watch a man be brutally beaten to death without even making him angry. There was a time when his members took care of their patience and looked at him. people end up in the middle of paper... it's atrocious but I had no idea the magnitude of this situation. The way this book was written gives people hope. After reading this, I realized there was more to it. things that people go through throughout their lives and are always optimistic that everything will work out, while others complain about everyday things. The author's use of quotes and descriptions of events painted a picture in the reader's mind of the Holocaust murders. Viktor E. was an extraordinary author and wrote this book well for all types of readers to understand the difficulties of the holocaust. The book gives the reader a large amount of important information. The interpretations and ideas apply not only to those who suffered in a concentration camp, but to everyone who lives locked behind bars and walls.
