- Summary:
-
"The life stories of child survivors who rebuilt their post-war lives in Israel have been largely left untold. This work is the first exploration into the experience of child survivors in Israel, focusing on the child survivors' experience in telling about their past to a wider audience and in publicly identifying themselves as Holocaust survivors. Whilst psychological research focuses on the survivor's personal inhibitions and motivations in retelling their pasts, this book attempts to understand the impact of the post-war environment on child survivor experience." "The interviews with survivors are presented "using their own voice", and can thereby be understood in their own unique context. The result is a unique work that synthesizes social science fields as disparate as history and psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
