International March of the Living
Alumni Book Club
We remember together.
Now we read together.
A space for our alumni to reconnect, reflect, and keep the conversation going — together. We read one book at a time and meet online to discuss it.
Our Next Selection
A psychiatrist is sent to Auschwitz and asks what makes survival possible. His answer was meaning.
Man’s Search for Meaning
Viktor Frankl was a Viennese psychiatrist who survived Auschwitz and three other camps. His account of those years, and of the school of therapy he built from them, has become one of the most widely read books of the twentieth century. It is short, direct, and closely connected to our first selection — Dr. Edith Eger, who wrote The Choice, was deeply influenced by Frankl.
Chosen by our readers in a live vote at the close of our November 2026 session.
