This volume comprehensively explores the life trajectories of nine
child/adolescent Holocaust concentration camp survivors as
recollected when the subjects were elders. Based on extensive face
to face interview material, enduring psychological and symptomatic
effects were evident. Survivors retained vivid recollections of the
horror of internment and expressed ongoing grief for the multiple
losses they had experienced. Unresolved grief contributed to a
sense of existential loneliness, particularly prominent in their
late life reflections. Despite indications of resilience and
life productivity, a ‘Trauma Trilogy’ of inter-linked
catastrophic grief, anger and survivor guilt contributed to a sense
of pain and struggle in negotiating Erikson’s final life task of
Integrity versus Despair. Â
