Viktor Frankl on his time in Auschwitz, Kaufering, Nazi-concentration camps

In this sequence of a 1993 presentation at North Park University in Chicago, in which Viktor Frankl talked about his life, he shares personal recollections of his 3 days at Auschwitz and the months spent in the Nazi-concentrations camps of Kaufering, a sub camp of Dachau, and Turkheim, where in 1945 he almost died from typhoid fewer. He talks about techniques which helped him cope psychologically with the dire circumstances, based on the human capacity of "self-distancing" and "self-transcendence" - phenomena which also play a central role in his psychotherapeutic approach called "logotherapy", which he developed before World War II.

"We must never forget that we may also find meaning in life even when confronted with a hopeless situation, when facing a fate that cannot be changed" Dr Viktor Frankl

When I learnt about his work and theories, and when I heard him mention his concentration camp experience, I so wanted to hear mor about his experience and survival there. It is so very humbling to listen to this

I admire Viktor Frankl. An extraordinary human being, a blessing to humanity. If I were the admin of this site, I would delete a comment that says anything negative about him. Thank you very much for uploading these videos. I have practically watched everything there is about him on KZbin in English and started watching the videos in German despite my insufficient knowledge of the language. I have listened to Man's Search for Meaning many times and it is the first book I recommend to everyone. I hope you upload more videos, interviews with him. All the best to you and to all his family.

He arms himself or “self-distances” with science. What a great technique. 👍

If the arts were based on this MEANING mentality school of thought instead of WILL or POWER school of thought, society wouldn't be so savage or libertine.
