The first part was a unique experience to read. It was written as a combination of a narrative and a psychological analysis of this narrative. Frankl wrote about his own experiences in the different Concentration camps and what he did to mentally survive. The book teaches the reader a lot about life in a concentration camp and how it was organized from the prisoner's perspective.
The book is also full of great quotes from other people. My personal favorites were:
The story about the death in Teheran. A short story that highlights that people should let fate run its course.
It did not really matter what we expected of life, but rather what life expected from us.
What you have experienced, no power on earth can take away from you.

The narrative of this autobiography comes from a psychiatric perspective on the entrapment of the innocent victims due to their difference in ideology. Interesting and eye-opening read.
