Okay, I guess I can start my story here. I feel like if I Write it down, and I experience something similar later on, I can go back and read it to remember the evil and how to overcome it. It is also a testimony that these things did happen for there are many who would deny the truth. Like when you read in the survivors of abuse forum how the survivor confronted their abuser who denies the abuse...this happens a lot and is not a coincidence. It is a malidaptive coping mechanisim to cover guilt. This is on a much grander scale. I have done family of origin work to learn about why my family acts the way they do. My attitude is the buck stops here...do not pass on the negativity to the next generation. It was harder than I thought it would be. I am what you call a "second generation" Holocaust survivor. I was too young to be there of course, but several of my grand aunts and uncles were there. Most partisans but unfortunately 2 family members were deported from Poland to subcamps of Dachau. ~TO BE CONTINUED~
