Abstract
Abstract Viktor Frankl's Auschwitz memoir has been criticized for misrepresenting the cultural significance of the Holocaust. “The real hero of Man's Search for Meaning,” Lawrence Langer once remarked, was “not man but Viktor Frankl.” Incorporating little-known biographical details and an analysis of how Frankl “worked through” his experiences in earlier writings, this article illuminates how Frankl arrived at his particular version of survival. It reinforces Langer's contention that Frankl distorted the reality of Auschwitz in an attempt to prove his own psychological and philosophical theories.
