Dr. Yael Danieli, co-founder and director of the Group Project for Holocaust Survivors and Their Children in New York City, has developed a new comprehensive questionnaire that attempts to help better understand how families have been affected by the Holocaust. Children and grandchildren of survivors who are at least 18 years old are invited to participate in this important study by completing the questionnaire. The questionnaire is available in English and in Hebrew. For more information and to participate in the study, please go to http://wnexus.net.
This research project is supported by grants from the Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Germany and from the Anti-Defamation League.
Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

Thanks for posting this. I was involved in a children of survivors of the Holocaust therapy group in the late 1970s that Yael Danielli was affiliated with too -- I can't recall how, precisely. Our group became the basis for the book Children of the Holocaust by Helen Epstein. It'll be nice to reconnect with her -- I'd like to find out what happened to the therapist who ran the group (and who was my private therapist). I suspect she's no longer with us.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could help you try to reconnect.
