Meet Viktor Frankl. Holocaust Survivor. Speaker. Teacher. Believer in Humankind. He wrote a book about his days in concentration camps and what he learned. His book, Man's Search for Meaning moved me in profound ways. As a young and promising graduate student in Vienna in the days before World War II he could have fled to America. His parents didn't have that option so he stayed in Austria to do his best to watch over them. Soon he was rounded up and sent to the camps with his family. His gritty account will bring you to tears. Please check out his book.
In this five minute video, years after his ordeal, Viktor is speaking to college students in Toronto. His passion for life, it's value, and meaning can still be felt.
