Book Synopsis Writing the Holocaust by : Zoë Vania Waxman
Download or read book Writing the Holocaust written by Zoë Vania Waxman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-26 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing against the prevailing view that Holocaust survivors (encouraged by a new and flourishing culture of 'witnessing') have come forward only recently to tell their stories,Writing the Holocaust examines the full history of Holocaust testimony, from the first chroniclers confined to Nazi-enforced ghettos to today's survivors writing as part of collective memory. Zoë Waxman shows how the conditions and motivations for bearing witness changed immeasurably. She reveals the multiplicity of Holocaust experiences, the historically contingent nature of victims' responses, and the extent to which their identities - secular or religious, male or female, East or West European - affected not only what they observed but also how they have written about their experiences. In particular, she demonstrates that what survivors remember is substantially determined by the context in which they are remembering.

Book Synopsis Trauma and Attachment in the Kindertransport Context by : Iris Guske
Download or read book Trauma and Attachment in the Kindertransport Context written by Iris Guske and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the result of an interdisciplinary oral history research project, which was carried out at the Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex. It focuses on the Kindertransport, the British rescue operation saving 10,000 predominantly German-Jewish children from Nazi Germany, and is based on in-depth case studies of five child survivors of the Holocaust. Looking at human development over the life cycle as mediated by intervening trauma was at the heart of the project, which examined the making and breaking of a child's close ties to significant others, processes of identity formation under acculturative stress as well as the creation and recall of traumatic memories. The study is thus one of the few in the field of attachment research which sheds light on the lifelong influence which early attachment has on coping with massive cumulative trauma. The former child refugees' narratives are enriched by letters, diaries, or articles written by them and their (host) families as well as by interviews conducted with family members and friends. Consequently, we can look at individual lives and collective destinies from more than one perspective as we are provided with rich, multi-layered accounts of people's whole-life trajectories. While each Holocaust survivor's developmental story is unique, it is, however, linked to the others' by the common experience of negotiating an identity between two countries, cultures, and religions against the background of unparalleled political upheavals, and as such also sheds light on, and offers ways out of, the traumata suffered in present-day contexts of enforced migration and displacement.

Download or read book My Darling Diary written by Ingrid Jacoby and published by . This book was released on 2006-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Ingrid Jacoby's first published diary, which dealt with her wartime arrival in Britain under the Kindertransport movement at the age of 12 and subsequent life through to 1944, Ingrid Jacoby's second My Darling Diary records her life from late in 1944 through to 1950. During these years Ingrid lives in Oxford, where she works at the Central Library for a while and then at Parker's Bookshop. Throughout her encounters with those in charge and with various colleagues and friends, her diary reflects the deep thoughts and feelings of a girl's coming of age in Britain during the 1940s. It is the honesty and frankness of Ingrid's diary that entices the reader to read on; whether it is her unprovoked lecherous encounter with the famed singer Richard Tauber or her own feelings of love for various men who wend in and out of her life, we know that the sentiments are real, being told directly to us as the diary takes on a persona of its own. There are times of loneliness, times of desire, sexual experiences with 'WB' her married boss at the bookshop and with boyfriends, all interwoven with feelings of inadequacy, doubt, and the myriad of emotions attached to any young woman from any age. However, this is Ingrid's story, and in so being is also completely original, enticing and compelling to read.
