Über den Autor


The contributors to this book are all members of the Sydney Child Holocaust Survivors Group. The group was formed in 1987, following a visit by Sarah Moskowitz, a child psychologist and educator from the US. Sarah has specifically researched children under 12 who survived the Czechoslovakian concentration camp Theresienstadt during the Second World War, and who then went to a Jewish orphanage called Lingfield House in Surrey, England.Sarah coined the term 'child survivor', and published her findings in a book called Love Despite Hate. She started a support group in Los Angeles and from there, other groups quickly followed.In Sydney, Eva Engel, a skilled community networker, was responsible for initiating the formation of the group, recruiting Litzi Lemberg to help her. A newly identified 'child survivor', Litzi became the spokesperson for the fledgling support group.With steady prodding and encouragement from Eva, the group grew and prospered. Members met regularly to talk to each other, and then became increasingly involved with the survivor, and wider, community.Members of the Sydney Child Holocaust Survivors group have been together now for over 22 years, as strong as ever. It is now part of the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust.
