Title: Memory Perceived
Description: "Examples from 200 hours of testimony by Holocaust survivors form the foundation of this volume on how memory responds to atrocity - how people comprehend and remember deeply traumatic experiences, and how they ultimately adapt. Depicting how the Holocaust exists in the minds of those who experienced it, this book simultaneously reveals the principles of enduring memory and makes the Holocaust more specific and immediate to readers.

A synthesis of myriad testimonies allows one individual to be presented in relation to others, showing personal tragedies as well as the collective atrocity. The findings are also applied to other groups of people who have lived through extended atrocity."--BOOK JACKET.
