“Any man can, even under such circumstances, decide what shall become of him – mentally and spiritually. The last inner freedom cannot be lost. It can be said that they were worthy of their sufferings; the way they bore their suffering was genuine inner achievement. It is this spiritual freedom – which cannot be taken away – that makes life meaningful and purposeful.” Victor E. Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning
