Frankl noticed that in the concentration camps, those who survived had something to hold onto, a reason to stay strong. They would often imagine a purpose in their lives, like talking to a loved one in their thoughts. According to Frankl, this positive imagination about the future had a significant impact on how long someone could endure the harsh conditions in the camps. Viktor Frankl, who himself survived these terrible camps, helps us understand how prisoners coped with such unimaginable hardships.
