Abstract:
This study assessed the degree to which Holocaust survivors have dealt successfully with the eight psychosocial crises thought by Erikson (1959) to mark important stages in life-span development. In Study 1, 50 autobiographical interviews of survivors videotaped 30–50 years after the war were subjected to thematic content analysis. Relevant passages were coded as representing either a favorable or an unfavorable outcome as defined by Erikson. Survivors described significantly more favorable than unfavorable outcomes for seven of the crises; the exception was Trust vs. Mistrust. In Study 2, audiotaped Holocaust survivor interviews conducted in 1946 were scored in the same way and compared with the results of Study 1. There were several significant differences as well as similarities between the two data sets, the later interviews mostly showing changes in the positive direction.

Abstract:
This article highlights new research opportunities on oral history interviews and storytelling. From 2003 to 2013, Goucher College students interviewed Holocaust survivors in Baltimore, Maryland, and publicly retold their stories on campuses, in schools, and in synagogues. These oral history interviews and storytelling presentations are stored in digital form in the Special Collections at the Goucher Library and are currently in the process of being made available online. The students used their chronologically structured interviews to develop their own narration of the survivors’ accounts. The interviews and presentations include a wide variety of survival experiences all over war-torn Europe as well as the survivors’ recollections of their arrival in the United States. The Goucher Testimony Collection adds another aspect to existing archived oral history interviews: the survivors entrust their stories to interviewers the ages of their own grandchildren. The interviews as well as the digitized storytelling presentations are a rich source for comparative analyses with interviews from other collections and/or other forms of testimonies. The techniques and approaches are also applicable to other oral history/storytelling projects, such as with war veterans or immigrants.

Abstract:
Abstract Between 70% and 90% of Americans aged 65 and older have experienced at least one traumatic event such as a sexual or physical assault, disaster, illness, or terrorism. Trauma exposure in older adult populations is linked to physical, mental, and cognitive decline. A new approach to improve outcomes of trauma-affected older adults is Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed (PCTI) Care, which promotes the dignity, strength, and empowerment of trauma-affected individuals by incorporating knowledge about trauma into agency programs, policies, and procedures. The Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging has awarded The Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) a grant to develop innovative PCTI interventions for Holocaust survivors. This includes a community-based intervention whereby local leadership councils are developed to identify Holocaust survivor needs, distribute grant funding, train caregivers in PCTI care, and forge partnerships to advance community-led Holocaust survivor care. This program has been implemented in eight major US cities where 168 community leaders dispersed 25 grants serving approximately 500 Holocaust survivors. JFNA conducted an evaluation of the first six of the eight cities to determine the impact of this community-based model on participants and Holocaust survivors and investigate the process by which a community-based model can be replicated. This evaluation used surveys and semi-structured interviews to collect data on variables including understanding of PCTI care, awareness of Holocaust survivor needs, strength of community partnerships, and leadership council sustainability. This session will review evaluation findings including best practices for community-based models of PCTI care, and applicability of findings to other older populations.

Abstract:
David Boder's wire-recorded interviews with about 130 displaced persons conducted in 1946 in France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland – his ‘Voices’ Project - is the earliest known oral history of Holocaust survivors. Their testimonies were recorded in nine languages, Boder translating as many of them as he could into English, thus turning the original audio files into written documents. The psychologist Boder claimed that the traumatic experiences suffered by his interviewees had patterned their language, something he tried to reflect in what he called ‘awkward’ translations. However, Boder's desire to identify and transmit trauma-induced linguistic behaviour led to misinterpretations and a failure to understand language choice, rather than language competence, as a sign of trauma.

Abstract:
Deaf people living in Europe between 1933 and 1945 were mistreated, forcibly sterilized, incarcerated, and murdered by the Nazis. Their stories have been overlooked or underappreciated because of the complexities of communication and the difficulties historians face gaining access to those communities. This article describes the challenges faced by two United States historians when they interviewed deaf Holocaust survivors in Budapest, Hungary and during a conference, "Deaf People in Hitler's Europe," co-sponsored by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Gallaudet University. It also raises general questions of adapting methodologies to facilitate "oral" history interviews for deaf informants.

Abstract:
Child survivors have only recently been recognized as a developmentally distinct group with psychological experiences different from older survivors. The wartime circumstances of Nazi persecution caused enforced separation from family and friends, and all the survivors experienced persecution in the form of physical and emotional abuse, starvation and degradation, and were witnesses to cruelty. This paper is based on information from interviews and therapy with 25 child survivors, the majority of whom were not patients. Coping strategies are discussed in terms of their survival value in wartime and post-war adaptive value. Three themes which reverberate throughout the lives of child survivors, now adults, are discussed in greater detail: bereavement, memory and intellect. The fact that the majority of child survivors live normal and creative lives provides an opportunity to learn what factors have served them over 40 years, to provide the resilience and strength to cope after such a shattering beginning.

Abstract:
Viktor Frankl has written that people can survive in the most adverse of situations. He emphasized that the will to meaning has actual survival value. Frankl said people who were oriented toward the future or who had loved ones to see again were most likely to have survived the Holocaust. But is this belief valid? Does love have survival value? Six survivors of the Holocaust were interviewed to assess whether they experienced thoughts and feelings as those described by Frankl. Analysis of results from these interviews showed that love was important but so were other factors.

Abstract:
Mit dem zunehmenden Alter der Holocaust-Überlebenden und dem häufigeren Kontakt zwischen Überlebenden und professioneller Pflege treten auch für die Pflege neue Anforderungen und Schwierigkeiten auf. In Interviews mit 18 Krankenpflegepersonen in Israel wurden die Erfahrungen von Pflegenden mit ihren Patientinnen und Patienten untersucht. Hierbei zeigt sich etwa, dass die Pflegepersonen ihre PatientInnen teilweise als besonders fordernd erleben; die Überlebenden meinten, aufgrund ihres in der Verfolgung erlittenen Schicksals eine bevorzugte Behandlung gegenüber den anderen Bewohnern und Patientinnen zu verdienen. Aufgrund dessen beschreiben die Pflegepersonen die Pflege dieser Menschen als besonders schwer und belastend, da sie ihnen ein größeres Maß an Geduld, Zeit, Verständnis und Aufmerksamkeit abverlangt. Bei der Betrachtung des persönlichen und familiären Hintergrundes der InterviewpartnerInnen fällt auf, dass gerade die Pflegepersonen, deren Eltern ebenfalls Überlebende der Shoah sind, dazu tendieren, einerseits auch die schweren Schicksale der anderen pflegebedürftigen Menschen zu berücksichtigen und andererseits das Charakteristikum der PatientInnen, wenig oder gar nicht über ihre Vergangenheit zu sprechen, meist nicht besonders betonen – da sie ohnehin damit aufgewachsen sind und daher dieses Schweigen für sie zur Selbstverständlichkeit geworden ist. Sie betonen, dass alle alten Menschen in Israel ein schweres Schicksal hatten und wehren damit teilweise auch eine Erwartungshaltung ab, gemäß derer die Holocaust-Überlebenden eine besonders einfühlsame und verständnisvolle Betreuung verdienten, die an sie noch höhere Anforderungen stellt und sie damit zu überfordern droht. Abschließend wird aufgezeigt, wie das Erleben der Überlebenden als fordernd und streitsüchtig durch die Pflegenden in einen Zirkel aus Ansprüchen von Seiten der KlientInnen und Zurückweisung durch die Pflegepersonen führen kann. Ein Weg zu mehr Verständnis, Empathie und adäquater Betreuung könnte unter anderem über gezielte Schulung und Bewusstseinsbildung führen.

Abstract:
Objective: This study examines the phenomenology of intergenerational transmission of trauma with the aim of elucidating the interactional process of transmission within an object relations framework. Method: The method consisted of systematic textual analysis of semi-structured interviews with six Jewish women born after the war who were children of concentration camp interned Holocaust survivors. Results: Four superordinate themes were identified: heightened awareness of parents' Holocaust survivor status, parenting style, overidentification with parents' experiences and transmission of fear and mistrust. These were found despite the variation in parental communication. Conclusions: The data suggest that unconscious processes are at least partially involved in the transmission of trauma. A form of projective identification is proposed as an explanatory mechanism which brings together diverse aspects of the observed phenomena: projection by the parent of Holocaust-related feelings and anxieties into the child; introjection by the child as if she herself had experienced the concentration camps; and return of this input by the child in the form of compliant and solicitous behaviour associated with enmeshment and individuation problems. Further research may establish these phenomena as a particular form of Secondary Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Abstract:
This study investigates middle school students’ interest in learning about the Holocaust, which methods are the most effective at teaching the Holocaust and how the testimony of Holocaust survivors can be retold to the next generations of middle school students. In order to answer these research questions, my study uses surveys with three classes of current middle school students in Greater Victoria, British Columbia, a focus group with graduate students at the University of Victoria and an interview with Larissa Weber, the director of the Anne Frank Exhibition in Berlin. These quantitative and qualitative results are analyzed using a mixed methods approach. The middle school students’ perceptions regarding effective educational methods when teaching the Holocaust in my limited sample (n=77 in the first survey and n=58 in the second survey) suggest that there is a connection between personal narrative and empathy when teaching the Holocaust in middle school classrooms. These findings are contextualized with a summary of the history of Holocaust education in Canadian public schools and a discussion regarding the role of empathy in learning about the Holocaust.

Abstract:
Abstract The Dimensions in Testimony project, led by the USC Shoah Foundation, involves 360-degree filming of Holocaust survivors in a light stage as they answer in the region of one thousand questions over the course of a week. The interviews create a database of answers that can be accessed through a “virtual conversation” in which a museum visitor interacts with a two- or three-dimensional display of the survivor interview. This chapter reflects on Dimensions in Testimony pilots held at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in Washington in 2016 and the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York in 2018, then contextualizes the project by exploring how the public understanding of holographic technology has been culturally constructed through Hollywood films. We then explore how interactive testimony’s distinctive form of “truthfulness” is shaped through the active participation of museum visitors, arguing that performative encounters with the Holocaust have the potential to provide a charged, embodied experience of historical disappearance and loss.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Hannah Pollin-Galay's Ecologies of Witnessing: Language, Place, and Holocaust Testimony (2018), a watershed book exploring the connection between place and historical imagination in Holocaust testimony. In this book, she contextualizes the differences between the personal narratives of Lithuanian Jews who remained in Lithuania and those who immigrated to Israel or the United States. Pollin-Galay does not merely compare the situational variances of the different places; in addition, she addresses the nuances in the language in which survivors gave their testimony — English, Hebrew, or Yiddish. She also probes numerous topics raised by the interviewees, including relationships, community, justice, and how the survivor self was transformed as a result of dehumanization, persecution, and multiple losses. Analysis of these variables is illustrated with poignant and, at times, heart-wrenching narratives drawn from the interviews.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter centers on a Dimensions in Testimony interview with the Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss, the posthumous stepsister of Anne Frank. We begin by exploring the dynamics of the extended question-and-answer format, before discussing three different written accounts that Schloss gave of her Holocaust experiences at different times in her life. We discuss the influence of Schloss’s book for young adults, The Promise (2006), while noting that the project’s aim of making Holocaust testimony available to future generations of young people means that Schloss censors out some of the most disturbing, traumatic, and taboo aspects of her childhood Holocaust experiences, including incidents of sexual abuse. If certain aspects of the Dimensions in Testimony methodology tend to keep the interviews free from what Lawrence Langer terms “anguished memory,” we note that their extended duration equally means that the orderliness of what Charlotte Delbo calls “common memory” is often fractured by moments of raw emotion. Finally, this chapter argues that the USC Shoah Foundation’s institutional mission means that survivors such as Schloss are incited to extract uplifting messages from their life histories. In its humanism and optimism, Dimensions in Testimony reflects the ongoing legacy of a film such as Schindler’s List. Yet we close by asking whether the occlusion of some of the most traumatic physical and psychological experiences risks making the spaces of virtual Holocaust memory overly sanitized, arguing that future projects must creatively acknowledge the silent accounts of the victims whom Primo Levi termed “the drowned.”

Abstract:
This chapter investigates the songs in Yiddish and Polish remembered by survivors of the łódz ghetto. It draws on interviews with two teenage survivors of the łódz ghetto who settled in Australia after the war in order to document and preserve personal musical experiences and memories of Jewish Holocaust survivors. It also references long and established literatures on examining witnesses and testifiers in Holocaust and trauma studies that speaks at length of delicate dynamics and ethical responsibilities of representation. The chapter analyzes the claim that sonic experiences remain in memories of people and travel with them throughout their lives, providing moments of nostalgia, evocations of past connections, ties to culture, friends, and family, and frames of reference. It explains how memories of dark, distant, and problematic times are enabled and returned to resonate in the present lives of testifiers and witnesses.

Abstract:
The authors studied intergenerational processing and search for meaning in families in which the Holocaust survivor wrote and published a memoir. Survivors’ writing of their traumatic narrative and the reading encounters of their children and grandchildren involve the search for meaning in passing on the family legacy. Survivor-writers and the second (child) and third (grandchild) generations in 12 Israeli families were interviewed. Qualitative analysis led to identification of two axes: family cohesion surrounding the traumatic narrative and familial communication about Holocaust experiences. Mapping the families along these two axes led to a three intergenerational family types: (1) high family cohesion and open communication, (2) low family cohesion and silence, and (3) partial cohesion and survivor–third generation open communication, with “knowing-not knowing” in the second generation. In the Israeli context, processing the tensions between the overt and covert legacies transmitted through the generations facilitates searching and creating integrated meaning for family members.

Abstract:
At the base of all Holocaust testimony projects lies a common commitment: to record and preserve the stories of those who survived the catastrophe as told in their own voices. When it comes to survivors’ testimonies, the messenger is as important as the message. The first to subscribe to this reasoning was the American psychologist David Boder, who in 1946 set out to interview survivors in refugee camps across Western Europe. Equipped with what was then the state- of- the- art technology—an Armour Model 50 wire recorder—Boder went on to produce what was the first audio testimony of the Holocaust. The wire recorder, developed in the 1940s by Marvin Camras, Boder’s colleague at the Illinois Institute of Technology, for the U.S. military, was a portable and remarkably durable device that utilized thin steel wires rolled into spools to produce an electromagnetic recording (see Fig. 4.1 below). As Boder later commented, the device “offered a unique and exact means of recording the experiences of displaced persons. Through the wire recorder the displaced person could relate in his own language and in his own voice the story of his concentration camp life.” Studying wire- recorded narratives led him to devise a “traumatic index” by means of which “each narrative may be assessed as to the category and number of experiences bound to have a traumatizing effect upon the victim.” Boder’s 1949 monograph, I Did Not Interview the Dead, invites readers to find indications of trauma implicit in selected transcripts of recorded narratives. The premise seems to be that, to the extent that such traumatic impact exists, it should be discoverable textually. Yet the same technology that made Boder’s project ingenious was also the reason for its relative obscurity. Wire recording was soon to give way to tape recording, consequently condemning Boder’s wire spools to obsolescence and the testimonies they held to near oblivion. The short- lived medium precluded access to the recorded material.
