Problem
What to see after the Esperanto Museum?
Answer
By chance I came across the Viktor F r a n k l Centre. (Space inserted because spellchecker tried to turn this into frankly!)
Viktor Frankl was a Holocaust survivor. He had run a programme which stopped students committing suicide before WWII. I went to the funeral of somebody who committed suicide this year (2018) and I had been puzzling long before that over how to stop students and others from committing suicide. Frankl had the answer way back in the 1930s. He had the theory, and put it into practice.
After losing his first wife in WWII (she died in Belsen) he continued his work in analysing mental health and helping people.
He married again after the war and wrote many books including Man's Search For Meaning. He lived until his nineties.
The reviewers on TripAdvisor were full of praise for this small museum which opened in 2017 for only two days a week. Maybe that will change as more people hear about it and wish to visit.
Where Next?
Freud Museum, Vienna. The Esperanto museum. Funeral Museum.
