Concentration Camp and Commander’s Humanity

Varinder Kumar

Chapter 4.7 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 152-153 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Victor Frankl narrates the brutal cruelties of the Nazi torturers and exterminators, and one’s attitude toward those sufferings in his book Man’s Search for Meaning.1 Among the guards of the concentration camp, there were some sadists who used to take pleasure in others’ sufferings. But there were some others who took pity on them. Among those persons was the commander of the camp from which Victor Frankl was liberated. This commander used to purchase medicines for his prisoners from his personal expenses.
