Children In Genocide Extreme Traumatization And Affect Regulation

"Suzanne Kaplan's book primarily focuses on children who lived in concentration camps or in hiding during the Holocaust. The author's in-depth interviews with such individuals, now in their seventies, clearly illustrate the life-long psychological scars left by extreme childhood trauma. This focus on children survivors distinguishes Suzanne Kaplan's book from many other significant psychoanalytic studies of Holocaust-related topics. Affects invaded their internal worlds and created generational collapse. Women who were child survivors had a tendency to either abstain from having children or choose to have many children." "This book, containing untold suffering by children caught in the midst of extreme social violence, gives voice to their unthinkable, unspeakable experience and makes this into a telling psychoanalytic story. It is a story of how the developing minds of these children grapple with the memories the experiences of genocide create and the triumphs and debilities which the struggle can leave in its wake."--book jacket.
