The Enlightened Heart: Personal Autonomy in a Totalitarian Society: How to Remain Human in Inhumane Conditions

In 1938, Bruno Bettelheim, then an aspiring psychoanalyst, was arrested by the Nazi authorities and sent to the Dachau concentration camp. There he had to see and experience monstrous things. His professional observations of himself and other prisoners helped him to keep his sanity and survive. Later, when Bettelheim had already become a renowned psychologist, these observations formed the basis for his publications on human behavior in extreme situations. This book summarizes both Bettelheim's camp experiences and his years of reflection on the interaction between man and society. He accurately and frankly describes the mechanisms that turn the ordinary citizen into a victim of the system or a cog in the machine of destruction. But The Enlightened Heart is also a book about the inner foundations that keep man from bowing his head to evil. And about why humanity, having survived another crisis, every time makes a new step forward.
