Viktor Frankl
No matter which camp a captive was sent to, he was sure to encounter brutal experiences and bleak indignities under the watchful eye of the Nazis and their appointed camp leaders. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary efines indignity l. a. An come that offends against a persons dignity or self-respect Insult. Humiliating treat custodyt. (Indignity, 2014). This definition doesnt calculate to do justice when examining the cruel treat custodyt of those imprisoned at Hitlers closing camps. In Frankls book, he tells of many indignities that were stripped away from them.He and his fellow captive lacked food, clothing, hygiene, and medical care. These indignities are cruel, but Frankl suggests that it was stripping of deeper indignities that could result in a man loss of will to survive. Prisoners were squeeze to ive up their identities and become a number, give up on their goals and accept a lite of imposition in the neck and suffering, and suffer mental agony at the insults bestowed up on them by leaders of the camp. virtually importantly, prisoners were laboured to Just give up hope.A New Destiny Frankl describes arriving at his first camp, departing the train, and standing in a line before a Senior SS policeman. He watched as the officeholder directed prisoners to either the go forth-hand(a) or counterbalance side of him, using his forefinger. He had no whim what this meant at the time, but later in the evening he wise to(p) that this was the process in which prisoners ere selected for work or for wipe pop. The men that were ushered to the slump were the ones the SS officer deemed fit for work. Those that were sent to the left, were destined for the gas chamber, as they were seen as besides old or sick for work.Later on, the prisoners to the right were pressure to fully pare and drop everything they owned to the floor. Their bodies were shaved completely and they were issued a number. This number voided by any past life they had. It simply wiped th eir past away and in its place was left a number. Another indignity that was bestowed upon he prisoners was being strained to give up their goals and face the terrifying thought that they no durable had anything to live for. Frankl writes, Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on. (pg. 5). Frankl suggests that formerly a man had lost all reason to live, he rarely survived much womb-to-tomb. Finally, an indignity described by Frankl as one of the worst things that he had to endure, was being forced to listen to insults towards him given by the camp leaders. He explains how painful it was to have to listen toa man Judge his life ven though he didnt k directlyadays anything about him. The prisoners were forced to work and be tempered like animals, while also being insulted to their core. They had already lost their identities, goals, and now they were forced to lose their own self-worth.According to Deprees list As men entered Hitlers ending camps, they left behind their identities in exchange for a number. Life as they knew it would never be the same. According to Deprees list of the eight essential rights for workers (pg. 36), these men were stripped of many of these rights, which in some cases, helped lead to their demise. By pickings away the risoners identity, goals, and self-worth, they were left without any of the eight rights listed by Depree. Their right to be needed was disregarded since they no longer held a purpose towards a goal.They, of course, had no right to be involved since their input could cause them expiry. Their right to affect their own destiny was overturned when they stepped off of the train and was forced to go to the left or right. It wasnt up to them, at that very moment, whether they lived or died. They had no right to understand what was happening, since they were not considered a part of an nonionic workforce, but rather slaves. They had zero right to appeal and doing so would sure bring about death.My list of indignities imposed on the prisoners of the Holocaust correlates fountainhead with Deprees list of rights for workers. While my list holds some of the basic indignities such as little food and water, forced labor, the inability to bathe or thicket their teeth, it also holds some of the deeper indignities, in which Frankl describes as sometimes worse than the carnal beatings that they endured Deprees Assumptions In order for Depree to comprise his list of eight essential rights for workers, he had to hold some assumptions about our society.Viktor FranklNo matter which camp a prisoner was sent to, he was sure to encounter brutal experiences and shocking indignities under the watchful eye of the Nazis and their appointed camp leaders.
