Viktor Frankl

"Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is... After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."
- from Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning


Frankl is a survivor of the Nazi concentration camps. This is a powerful undergirding of the doctrine of total depravity. Man is inherently both Jekyll and Hyde all in the same body. - DOB
