About this episode

Man's Search For Meaning - by Victor E Frankl


We find ourselves in middle of World War II. Frankl had been captured by the Germans and is in a concentration camp. "Every man was controlled by one thought only: to keep himself alive for the family waiting for him at home". This is a dark book and highlights the atrocities of the time, but also shows us that terrible things happen when we lose a sense of meaning in our lives.
