The concept of symbolic revenge toward the perpetrators of the Final Solution of the Jews was found in testimonies with Holocaust child survivors taken in the 1980s and 1990s as part of the Kestenberg Archive . This chapter focuses on how the attitudes, behaviours and feelings of child survivors illustrate symbolic revenge.
