A Holocaust memoir by a psychologist, better known in English as Man's Search for Meaning ; earlier called From Death-Camp to Existentialism. It has sold tens of millions of copies around the world and become one of the central texts through which we understand the Holocaust and trauma as a psychological phenomenon. An entirely different (truncated) book of three lectures by the same author was published the same year titled ...trotzdem ja zum Leben sagen, with this book's title as its subtitle, with which it is often confused.
