History, Trauma and Shame provides an in-depth examination of the
sustained dialogue about the past between children of Holocaust
survivors and descendants of families whose parents were either
directly or indirectly involved in Nazi crimes. Taking an
autobiographical narrative perspective, the chapters in the book
explore the intersection of history, trauma and shame, and how
change and transformation unfolds over time. The analyses of the
encounters described in the book provides a close examination of
the process of dialogue among members of The Study Group on
Intergenerational Consequences of the Holocaust (PAKH), exploring
how Holocaust trauma lives in the 'everyday' lives of descendants
of survivors. It goes to the heart of the issues at the forefront
of contemporary transnational debates about building relationships
of trust and reconciliation in societies with a history of genocide
and mass political violence. This book will be great interest for
academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the
study of social psychology, Holocaust or genocide studies, cultural
studies, reconciliation studies, historical trauma and
peacebuilding. It will also appeal to clinical psychologists,
psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, as well as upper-level
undergraduate students interested in the above areas.
