(HOLOCAUST). VIKTOR E. FRANKL. Österreichische Dokumente zur Zeitgeschichte, Bd. 1: Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager. [Man’s Search for Meaning.] FIRST EDITION. Text in German. pp. 130. Browned. Original color pictorial wrappers, light wear. 8vo. Vienna, Verlag Jugend und Volk, 1946.          TRUE FIRST EDITION OF FRANKL’S CLASSIC WORK, LATER TRANSLATED MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING. (Confusingly an entirely different book of three lectures by Frankl was published the same year titled Trotzdem ja zum Leben sagen, with this book's title as its subtitle).     “Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl chronicles his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and describes his psychotherapeutic method, which involved identifying a purpose in life to feel positive about, and then immersively imagining that outcome. According to Frankl, the way a prisoner imagined the future affected his longevity… According to a survey conducted by the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Library of Congress, Man's Search for Meaning belongs to a list of ”the ten most influential books in the United States.” At the time of the author's death in 1997, the book sold over 10 million copies and had been translated into 24 languages.”     See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Search_for_Meaning.
