Love_in_a_Concentration_Camp

Love in a Concentration Camp Love Will Always Be Love The story, “Love in a Concentration Camp”, is a heartrending account by Victor Frankl about how he survived cruel treatment in Nazi concentration camps only by thinking about his wife. This kind of delusional love experienced by Frankl is somewhat different from the real, everyday love that couples share. Both of these situations have their benefits as well as their disadvantages. This essay will go further into discussion by depicting which scenario is better and more satisfying. Frankl’s piece shows why “love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire” (348). This story makes anyone who has ever experienced love realize how much he/she would go through just for that person he/she cared about. Frankl did not know whether or not his wife was still alive, nor did this affect the strength of love that he had for his wife. This is because “love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self” (349). Because of this, he continued to struggle and survive the harsh treatment he was suffering.
