📗 If This Is a Man plot.
🧧Survival in Auschwitz doesn't really follow any form of conventional story progression or framework because it is an autobiography. This memoir was not written by Levi with a predetermined framework in mind. Instead, it is a first-person account of how Levi was taken prisoner and sent to Auschwitz. He witnesses the men and women there gradually losing their humanity as a result of their terrible treatment while he is there. Because of the approaching Russian forces, the SS and other Germans still leave the camp, but the surviving inmates continue to dwell in squalor and sickness and grow more terrified and despondent. Primo and a few other inmates are ultimately able to maintain their humanity because they work together and encourage one another; they are not only concerned with staying alive.
Act I.
Primo's abduction in the woods, his transport to Auschwitz, where he loses his name, clothes, and everything else he held dear about life, are all included in this.
Act II.
Primo "adjusts" to life in Auschwitz and notices how every day turns into a struggle for survival. He devises plans of action to get through each day and maintain his humanity.
Act III.
The surviving captives are left to fend for themselves until the Russians come after the Germans leave the camp. The camp is ultimately freed, and Primo goes back to his house.

🔺🔺🔺Man's Search For Meaning🔺🔺🔺[ Ссылка ]
In this book, Dr. Frankl explains the experience which led to his discovery of logo therapy . As a longtime prisoner in bestial concentration camps he found himself stripped to naked existence. His father, mother, brother, and his wife died in camps or were sent to the gas ovens, so that, excepting for his sister, his entire family perished in these camps. How could he - every possession lost, every value destroyed, suffering from hunger, cold and brutality, hourly expecting extermination - how could he find life worth preserving? A psychiatrist who personally has faced such extremity is a psychiatrist worth listening to.
