Families’ Detachment At The Shoah: Links At Jewish Memory And Identity

Abstract

Jew’s dehumanization imposed by the Nazi-fascist policy aimed, among its marks, the family detachment. With that measure, raised from a thing fullness look down on the Jews, the fragility of their individual and collective defenses was reached. That collapse is illustrated in the survivors’ reports that lived the sorrowful separation imposed on the Jewish families during the Holocaust, under dilemmatic and traumatic conditions. The emptiness of those familiar losses is a significant part of the collective memory and identity of the contemporary Jewish people, which looks for to allude to those who perished by giving them a place in their memories and in the retransmission of Shoah’s history.
