Wartość wychowania humanistycznego. Umysł humanisty w obozie koncentracyjnym
Journal Title: Kwartalnik Pedagogiczny - Year 2017, Vol 62, Issue 2
Abstract
Times when the Nazi concentration camps appeared is the period when the importance of humanistic knowledge weakened. The living conditions in concentration camps were so horrible that the primary goal of the prisoners was just to survive in the Nazi created “world”, which can be described as non-human, and therefore non-humanistic. Hence there is a question whether humanistic upbringing is valuable, if it is not useful in an extreme situation, when humanity of a human is at stake? If not: why does it not allow man to remain human? This question occupied the minds of the camp prisoners who discussed the status of humanistic upbringing. The author of the article tries to answer this question using the recollections of Primo Levi, Jean Amery and Victor Frankl.<br/><br/>
