The similarity of the fates of these two people is surprising. Both Bruno and Viktor are famous psychologists, the Austrian Jews, Viennese, prisoners of Nazi concentration camps. And both have survived, becoming an example of human and scientific feat.
The most amazing thing was that at different times, not knowing each other and independently of each other, they made two strong decisions in their lives. The decisions that shaped their lives and influenced the lives of thousands of others. Including mine.
Being on the very edge of life, losing their loved ones, the last remnants of health, sense, honor and personality, they made a decision: TO DO WHAT NO ONE MAKES THEM TO DO - brush their teeth and write mentally a scientific monograph of the human behavior in extreme conditions.
For two they went through five concentration camps, including Dachau, Auschwitz, Buchenwald. Both survived. After going through hell, they came out unbroken – the great writers, scientists, personalities who discovered new directions in science and the art about human.
