This book is a unique compilation of essays about the genocidal
persecution fuelling the Nazi regime in World War II. Written by
world-renowned experts in the field, it confronts a vitally
important and exceedingly difficult topic with sensitivity,
courage, and wisdom, furthering our understanding of the
Holocaust/Shoah psychoanalytically, historically, and through the
arts. Authors from four continents offer their perspectives,
clinical experiences, findings, and personal narratives on such
subjects as resilience, remembrance, giving testimony, aging, and
mourning. There is an emphasis on the intergenerational
transmission of trauma of both the victims and the perpetrators,
with chapters looking at the question of "evil", comparative
studies, prevention, and the misuse of the Holocaust. Those
chapters relating to therapy address the specific issues of the
survivors, including the second and third generation, through
psychoanalysis as well as other modalities, whilst the section on
creativity and the arts looks at film, theater, poetry, opera, and
writing. The aftermath of the Holocaust demanded that
psychoanalysis re-examine the importance of psychic trauma; those
who first studied this darkest chapter in human history
successfully challenged the long-held assumption that psychical
reality was essentially the only reality to be considered. As a
result, contemporary thought about trauma, dissociation, self
psychology, and relational psychology were greatly influenced by
these pioneers, whose ideas have evolved since then. This
long-awaited text is the definitive update and elaboration of their
original contributions.
