Hell within Hell: Sexually Abused Child Holocaust Survivors

Autor Rachel Lev-Wiesel, Susan Weinger
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 apr 2011
Deafening silence generally surrounds the sexual abuse perpetrated against child Survivors of the Holocaust by their saviors and captors. In this book, child Survivors who endured two of the most severe traumas-the Holocaust and sexual abuse-bravely tell their stories to prevent this crucial aspect of the Holocaust from being buried and left virtually unknown to the world. The testimonies of these Survivors, who were beholden to their abusive saviors or entrapped by their terrorizing guards, reveal that sexual traumas leave a differential as well as a combined psychological trail from the Holocaust experience. Hell within Hell begins with background information about the Holocaust and its impact on the lives of Survivors. The authors then explain why sexual abuse is so psychologically devastating and discuss how such a traumatic experience reverberates later in life. Readers are able to use this knowledgeable context to fully listen to the Survivors' powerful voices. The afterword contains a dialogue between the authors befitting the Survivors' forthright accounts.

Recenzii

This is a book which makes incomprehensible crimes experienceable. As if the atrocities of the Shoah were not enough, the abused bodies and souls of the persons given voice in this book were tarnished through sexual abuse. Reading their narratives one comes to rediscover the limits of suffering and the incredible power and resiliency of the narrators. One can feel their breath on one's skin, and find solace in their incredible ability to both raise a monument of suffering for those who are not with us and one of courage and hope for those who are. My father's words.echoed throughout the book: 'I wish you, my son, to never have to suffer what you can endure.'
