Research into various aspects of the Holocaust has escalated in recent years just as the ranks of survivor-subjects are rapidly diminishing. All documents contributing in any way to the knowledge of psychological and medical consequences have been included in this bibliography. Materials are drawn from psychological, psychiatric, and social work literature and from personal accounts. In addition to printed books and articles, references are made to manuscripts which are housed at one of the three centres where major libraries of this kind exist. The bibliography contains titles in English, French, Polish, Dutch, and German, as well as a number of other languages.

Messages and memories: Reflections on child survivors of the Holocaust

Dasberg, H.

Memory Press

The life of a Jewish infant in the middle of the Holocaust is constantly threatened. Deportation would mean certain death.\nDr. Robert Krell, the well-known psychiatrist and founder of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Center, has long described young Holocaust survivors as “elderly children.” Robert Krell has received both local, national and international recognition for his life-long work in Holocaust education, remembrance, human rights and social justice.\nWhen Krell was only two years old and living in warn-torn the Netherlands, the Christian Munnik family was entrusted with his care. There, he learned to recognize a mother, a father and a sister in the faces of those who once were no more than family acquaintances.\nAfter WWII he is reunited with his parents who miraculously survived. Both parents and child have to deal with massive unspoken trauma. They choose to keep it at bay, deciding that never talking about it would help them forget and eventually heal. Until Krell realizes that forgetting is not a cure but a threat.\nForgetting could make the tragedies they all lived happen again. 
Forgetting would mean erasing the lives of 6 million people from history.\nSounds from Silence is an extended reflection on the effects of being a child Holocaust survivor and a child of Holocaust survivors.\nKrell explores the circumstances that marked his whole life: the frustration of an abandoned child, the understanding that can only be acquired in adulthood, the regret of a mother who had to let go of his son to save his life.\nThe fight of a self-defined “elderly Jew with stories to tell” against Holocaust deniers and skeptics.

I have long described child Holocaust survivors as "elderly children." We were forced to grow up overnight and lost pieces of childhood - of play and security, of comfort and predictability, of parental love and guidance. Those few of us fortunate to have survived have spent lifetimes catching up on what we missed. This account reflects the life journey of such a child.
