Can the reason for the enormous hatred and malice in society be sought in the human soul?, like that to the Jews? If so, whether the eradication of that evil and of all other social problems can be found in the treatment of the individual, regardless of whether the individual is predator or prey? And is that social disease a product of ideology?, which is above the human mind,above psychological interpretations, above all treatments, so that makes her even scarier? These questions are at the core of Meaning. The clash between Betty (the patient ) and Frankl (the psychiatrist), as well as the long-term struggle of Frankl and other prisoners in the Nazi concentration camps, represent an attempt to understand the true meaning of the forces that rule our world – both then and now.
