I remember a story of a person who was in a concentration camp during WWII, who found inner peace despite a complete lack of liberty and atrocious living conditions...
Not sure if this was the person you were thinking of but Viktor Frankl wrote a book on the topic called Mans Search for Meaning. Its an absolutely remarkable book.

If you havent already read it, I think you might like it very much. It discusses the question you raise very intelligently and thoughtfully. It will not leave you untouched!
