Based on a unique research study, this volume examines the later life development of Holocaust survivors from Israel and the US. Through systematic interviews, the authors – noted researchers and clinicians – collected data about the lives of these survivors and how they compared to peers who did not share this experience. The result is a multi-faceted view of their subject with an understanding of the individual, society, and the interaction of the two, tempered by the authors´ own Holocaust experiences.
