The drama “Synchronization in Buchenwald” touched me very deeply.
First, the thought conveyed by Kant's words caught my attention: “we have already told everything to humanity, but people do not hear us.”

Deep philosophical thought and its wide dissemination has already opened numerous roads for our critical thinking processes. But practically, not many people care about knowing what philosophy is even about. In this age and time, people do not generally like to read and, most importantly, do not ask questions.

The demand from the multitudes for deep philosophy, is not yet born. It appears as if a very smart person painted roads and terrains for us on the map of the Earth, but we don’t know how to use them. Most importantly, we don’t understand that we have the capacity to look at these road-maps and read them. We walk through icy passes, drowning in swamps; we suffer from thirst in the deserts and remain in ignorance.
I agree with the author: “suffering motivates us to study and to move towards meanings, but not in the direction of pleasure”.

When Everest (unavoidable circumstances) gets in the way of Ivanov Susanins, already frostbitten, in the blood-freezing ice, and starved of hunger, then they certainly ask themselves, “maybe someone has already drawn these cards before us and knows where and how to go in a more efficient way and without so much suffering”. “Where is the meaning?”- that is the question written on the way to the exit.

There are two ways that people plunge into the depths of themselves: suffering and inspiration. In my opinion, the first paves the way, and then the second is realized on the path out by the individuals.

The overall idea is that suffering is necessary for people to be aware of and to get rid of limiting beliefs and to fill life with meaning.

Suffering in itself is not meaningless, but allows us to explore our depth and teaches that we can gain control over pain by changing our attitudes towards it.

This assumption is very close to my personal experiences and my personal beliefs. I myself have passed through this way. If I could or would avoid periods of survival, struggle, and suffering from my life, I would be not more than a domestic, unconscious plant. That is how I remember and created myself. If someone was to suggest to me now to remove suffering from my life, I would not
agree. My current awareness and meaningfulness exist together with, and in coexistence with my suffering.

The second idea that inspired me to deep thought, was the possibility of an angel becoming a Nazi overseer. Reflections on such topics have concerned me for a long time.

Given such an option and opportunity, does every person have such an ability?
From the text of the drama it follows that yes, we are all angels and overseers, simultaneously. I wondered about Joseph Goebbels’ biography. I could not believe how such a loving father, endowed with so many talents, capable of the highest form of self-transcendence, having love in his life (his affair with the Czech actress Lida Barova), was capable of such cruel acts against people only because they were a different race.
The drama explains a lot about human nature.

By the end of this drama, the suffering reader is provided a chance to heal from his pain. I think that, as a reading aid, I would recommend this drama to all my clients to understand the very concept of “suffering” and the methods of dealing with it.
I see my subsequent discussions of this drama with clients as an effective impetus towards self-transcendence in my clients.

My feelings were very severe while reading this drama. Despite this, I enjoyed immersing myself in its advanced philosophical thought. Thanks, and hats off to Victor Frankl for this masterpiece.
