Written by a Holocaust survivor, this book is a must read. It chronicles his sufferings, his triumphs, his freedom, and--most importantly--his soul. We read how Frankl decided to stay in Germany at the rise of the Nazi party when he could have accepted a visa to America. Why did he stay, you may ask? Because he did not want to leave his parents alone to face what was coming. Even more beautiful is what Frankl thinks of when he in the concentration camps. He remembers his wife, whom he calls his beloved. In a very philosophical moment, Frankl writes that love is what really keeps one going in life. This book is full of great words that you'll want to quote to your friends. It is the story of a decent man who cared for others and did not let the monsters of indecent men ruin him. After the memoir aspect of the book, there is a second section on the author's psychological theories.
