Viktor Frankl was a psychiatrist who actually survived Nazi concentration camps during WWII. He wrote the book right after the war (first published in 1946)
Everything in that book is drawn from his real experiences and reflections on suffering, hope, and the search for meaning in life.

I think we have at least one review of this great book in the territory. It's always worthy of discussion.
From Carlos Fandango?
Yep. I remember that one, and I believe there was another one too.

No wonder I couldn't find it... post was deleted but comments are still visible
That explains it!
Yeah, that’s what I like about SN, even classics like this keep finding space for new takes.
Elie Wiesel's Night is another one in a similar league.
Thanks, I will give it a try.
Every book I've read that has the provenance "survived Nazi concentration camps" (or Stalin-era camps) has been a revelation. But I gotta space 'em out -- otherwise I can't digest it all.
True fact, those stories are powerful but also really heavy, so pacing yourself makes a lot of sense. Each one leaves you with a lot to sit with.
