The Legacy of the Holocaust - Children and the Holocaust. Survivors at the Memorial

Participants in a conference on "The Legacy of the Holocaust - Children and the Holocaust," organized in Cracow by the Jagiellonian University English Philology Institute and cooperating American universities from May 24-27, visited Auschwitz. Participants in the conference, including children of former prisoners of Auschwitz and other death camps, listened to a lecture by Helena Kubica on "Children and Young People in Auschwitz Concentration Camp."

The lecture and a discussion were followed by the premiere of the documentary film "Voices and Memories: Children of the Holocaust," by Giora Gerzo. The film showed the postwar fate of the youngest surviving victims of Nazism, and the difficulties they had in overcoming the consciousness of the Holocaust.
