We Had To Learn...that It

Such A Value System Might Be Responsible For The Fact That The Burden Of Unavoidable Unhappiness Is Increased By Unhappiness About Being Unhappy.

I Had Wanted Simply To Convey To The Reader By Way Of Concrete Example That Life Holds A Potential Meaning Under Any Conditions, Even The Most Miserable Ones. And I Thought That If The Point Were Demonstrated In A Situation As Extreme As That In A Concentration Camp, My Book Might Gain A Hearing. I Therefore Felt Responsible For Writing Down What I Had Gone Through, For I Thought It Might Be Helpful To People Who Are Prone To Despair.

One Should Not Search For An Abstract Meaning Of Life ... Life Can Be Made Meaningful In A Threefold Way: First, Through What We Give To Life ... Second, By What We Take From The World ... Third, Through The Stand We Take Toward A Fate We No Longer Can Change.

Life Ultimately Means Taking The Responsibility To Find The Right Answer To Its Problems And To Fulfill The Tasks Which It Constantly Sets For Each Individual.

For The World Is In A Bad State, But Everything Will Become Still Worse Unless Each Of Us Does His Best.
