[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]
Viktor Frankl, the famous psychotherapist was born in Vienna into an assimilated family. After surviving Auschwitz he went on to write Man's Search for Meaning, a book that became famous around the world and amongst adherents of different religions. Christians in particular took from this book that Frankl was a closet Christian, which was not the case. Rather Frankl chose to make meaning of the Holocaust from his experiences and became more of a religious Jew as a result.
