Abstract

Though their death sentence was lifted almost sixty years ago, child survivors of the Holocaust are often still unsure whether they should have died with their parents. Group psychotherapy, as described in this paper, highlighted these conflicts in the group process and in the cotherapists’ countertransference. Once these were fully acknowledged, the group could tolerate a termination process.
