Description

Accurate numbers can never be known, but it is estimated that more than one million children under the age of sixteen perished during the Holocaust. For the children who survived, what they saw and heard, and what they lost, remains an indelible trauma.

In 1987, in Sydney, a number of child survivors formed a group to share their stories and begin to process their grief. Later, a member of the group, Nora M. Huppert, organised creative writing sessions for members. For many, finding ways to remember was the beginning of a painful reintegration of their sense of self — a realisation that they were, in fact, child survivors of the Holocaust.

In telling their stories, there was relief to be found in finally connecting their memories with context and meaning and in having them validated. In this indescribably moving collection, the 32 members of the group share the stories of their unfathomable experiences of loss, and of their ultimate endurance.

The Words to Remember It is a profound testament to resilience and the power of storytelling as a means of healing and connection.
