This work shows how interviews help child survivors of the Jewish experience during World War II. It is unique in that it features different aspects of the interviewer-interviewee relationship. The contributions are personal as well as analytical in nature, and the narrative is an informed psychological analysis. The work should be of interest to Holocaust centers, researchers, oral historians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, sociologists, and trauma researchers as well as survivors.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kestenberg and Fogelman, after many years of work and study of this field, have produced a spectacular, novel approach...Dealing with people who have been severely traumatized in childhood is dangerous. One can cause harm just by listening...Somehow the authors and editors managed to steer safely in these dangerous currents. We can only admire and try to emulate this pioneering effort."-Henry Krystal, M.D. Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry Michigan State University
