Through an in-dept  sensitive presentation of eight analyses conducted with children of survivors  the author shows how the shadow of the Holocaust sets the stage for the intrapsychic drama played out by the second generation during the course of their analytic journey. These patients grapple with the meaning of the Holocaust - conscious and unconscious - in their own lives as well as the lives of their parents ... Illany Kogans style is unique. She provides a depth and richness of detail in her patients fantasy words  as well as her own experience of countertransference. She invites the reader to participate in the vicissitudes of the analytic process  including moments of frustration  analytic impasses and ruptures in the therapeutic alliance. Through her open  unassuming style  her well-organized writing and the judicious use of verbatim material  the author breathes life into these analytic stories ... The important insights revealed in this book can inform us not only in the realm of this particular group of patients but all those whose lives are touched by the reality of war  violence and trauma. Dr Ann Adelman  Yale University ------- Ilany Kogans vivid description of the psychological fate of children of the survivors of Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps alert us to the long-lasting effects of severe trauma and its transmission from one generation to the next. Dehumanisation is a constant feature of human history  and this book reminds us of our need to be vigilant in the defence of civilisation. Dr Dinora Pines  London --------- Ilany Kogan has written a book with so many truths in it that it should be required reading for all those colleagues who might be consulted by members of the second generation.
