Do you really know what Auschwitz was like and what went on there?
This time, I would like to introduce "Man’s Search For Meaning" a memoir by a psychologist who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II. It's famous, so I'm sure many of you have read it.
This book was written and published in 1964 by psychologist V. E. Frankl, who was imprisoned in the Auschwitz concentration camp. It is an account of his experiences at the camp.
The book describes what happened inside Auschwitz, how the prisoners were treated, and what happened to the survivors after they were liberated, but the most distinctive feature of the book is the psychological analysis of the prisoners from the author, Frankl's, perspective as a psychologist.
The film approaches these situations from a psychologist's perspective, making it very interesting, as it covers topics such as what kind of people were in the camps, how people behave when pushed to their limits, what types of people survived the longest, and what happens to people when they are released and set free.
In particular, I feel that the types of people who have lived long lives have something in common with us living in the present day, so I would definitely recommend reading it.
This book tells us what happened in the concentration camps and even has some relevance for us living today. It's a very interesting and fascinating book. It's a must-read for anyone wanting to know what happened during World War II.
A new edition has now been released, so be sure to check out your local library or bookstore for a copy.
