| Summary |
Use Frankl's insights and techniques to improve life for your aging clients or parishioners.

Man is that being, who, after all, invented the gas chambers; but at the same time he is that being who entered into those same gas chambers with his head held high and with the 'Our Father'or the Jewish prayer of the dying on his lips |
