Description
Juxtaposes early and belated testimony by child survivors of the Holocaust. Focuses on child survivors who were placed in a children's home in Otwock anddraws upon the early postwar testimonies and videotaped testimonies of those same people conducted years later. The comparison allows Michlic to examine the effects of time on traumatic memory. Memory is 'enduring' with no significant difference between the earlier and later accounts of the past
