title: [Suicidal behavior in extreme stress].
abstract: Suicidality under extreme life circumstances is a poorly researched area. However, suicidal behaviour could be better understood by looking at extreme conditions such as the life of internees in German concentration camps. Former inmates of different German concentration camps reported on a low suicide rate in contrast to a high rate of suicide ideas. Reasons for such a low suicide rate are discussed.
