SUMMARY:Book launch of Catastrophic Grief\, Trauma and Resilience in Child Concentration Camp Survivors
DESCRIPTION:This book describes the narratives of child Holocaust survivors and their experiences of complex trauma\, complicated bereavement\, ageing\, resilience and existential loneliness. The work is unique in that it describes the trauma of child Holocaust survivors who were placed in concentration camps. Most children were killed on entry. Child survivors were rare. These survivors went on to build lives with considerable resilience and coping but their trauma remained within for the next 70-75 years. This is a unique view of the impact of catastrophic trauma and grief over a lifespan. \nThe book is based on the research of Tracey Farber’s PHD research in which she interviewed 9 child Holocaust survivors who were interned in concentration camps. Gill Eagle and Cora Smith were the research supervisors. The authors have added original chapters discussing the relevant research and literature in the field of massive grief\, complex trauma and ethics. \nThe survivors retained vivid recollections of the horror of internment and expressed ongoing grief for the multiple losses they had experienced. Unresolved grief contributed to a sense of existential loneliness\, particularly prominent in their late life reflections.  Despite indications of resilience and life productivity\, a ‘Trauma Trilogy’ of inter-linked catastrophic grief\, anger\, and survivor guilt contributed to a sense of pain and struggle in negotiating Erikson’s final life task of Integrity versus Despair.  By publishing the body of a doctoral thesis in the form of a book the aim was to make the material available to a wide audience. The authors include some practical outcomes that may inform clinical practice\, further research\, and understanding of the impact of other genocides. \nAbout the Authors: \nTracey Farber worked full time as a clinical psychologist\, psychotherapist\, supervisor\, and trainer in private practice for 24 years in Johannesburg.

SUMMARY:Sub-Saharan Africans and the Holocaust by Prof Edward Kissi
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust was a catastrophe for its direct Jewish victims in Europe. For the non-Jewish and non-European “distant observers” of the Holocaust in sub-Saharan Africa\, the Nazi anti-Jewish campaign in Europe had a particular significance. The Speaker\, Dr. Edward Kissi\, author of Africans and the Holocaust: perceptions and responses of colonized and sovereign peoples\, will look at how particular groups of people in East and West Africa obtained and interpreted news reports about the Nazi persecution and attempted destruction of German and other European Jews in the 1930s and early 1940s. The talk focuses on how these groups in sub-Saharan Africa used their indigenous cultures and memories of European colonialism to make moral and analytical judgements about the Holocaust. \nEdward Kissi is Associate Professor at the School of Interdisciplinary Global Studies\, University of South Florida\, and a member of the Africana Studies faculty. Kiss’s research focuses on the post-20th century history of West and East Africa\, the comparative history of genocide and human rights\, and sub-Saharan African perspectives on the Holocaust. He has published on a wide range of issues including genocide and human rights in Africa\, and the prospects and challenges of genocide prevention and global Holocaust and Genocide Education. In 2009\, Kissi was invited by the United Nations to write “The Holocaust as a Guidepost for Genocide Detection and Prevention in Africa” for the landmark United Nations’ Discussion Papers Journal.  He has since been involved in major national and international activities on Holocaust and Genocide Education\, including  UNESCO’s on-going initiatives on Holocaust and Genocide Education in Africa. His latest book Africans and the Holocaust (2019) is a pioneering effort to integrate sub-Saharan African perspectives on the Holocaust into Holocaust Studies and incorporate Holocaust content into African history\, and Africana Studies. Kissi has also been featured in the new National Geographic documentary Nazis at Nuremberg: The Lost Testimony which made its international debut in December 2022. \nRSVP here.
