And this is an encyclopedia. Lawrence L. Langer doesn't get to choose what is in his biography. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:20, 28 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Personal experience of an observer impacts critical perspective and available objectivity.

[edit]

Objection to a notion that concentration camp prisoners are somehow responsible for their fate seems harshly critical of a more likely perspective by Viktor Frankl. Lawerence L. Langer's biographical information indicates he has not had a concentration camp experience of a type endured by Viktor, and the two could understandably have entirely divergent perspectives. As a successful survivor, Viktor may intend to convey that a prisoner does have a measure of control over the outcome of imprisonment - as opposed to a notion of the abject fatefulness of individuals confronted by holocaust. Much depends upon a prisoner's ongoing experience: attitude, self-control, self-respect and awareness of these factors impact an imprisonment outcome, spiritually, mentally and physically.
