Despair Is Suffering Without Meaning.

As A Professor In Two Fields, Neurology And Psychiatry, I Am Fully Aware Of The Extent To Which Man Is Subject To Biological, Psychological And Sociological Conditions. But In Addition To Being A Professor In Two Fields I Am A Survivor Of Four Camps - Concentration Camps, That Is - And As Such I Also Bear Witness To The Unexpected Extent To Which Man Is Capable Of Defying And Braving Even The Worst Conditions Conceivable.

At Any Moment, Man Must Decide, For Better Or For Worse, What Will Be The Monument Of His Existence.

How Can We Dare To Predict The Behavior Of Man? We May Predict The Movements Of A Machine, Of An Automaton; More Than This, We Many Even Try To Predict The Mechanisms Or "dynamisms" Of The Human Psyche As Well. But Man Is More Than Psyche.

The Struggle For Existence Is A Struggle 'for' Something; It Is Purposeful And Only In So Being Is It Meaningful And Able To Bring Meaning Into Life.

I Became Acquainted With Those Martyrs Whose Behavior In Camp, Whose Suffering And Death, Bore Witness To The Fact That The Last Inner Freedom Cannot Be Lost.
