February 23 - 2006
he World Federation of Jewish
Child Survivors of the Holo-
caust will hold its 19th annual
international conference in Dearborn
Aug. 25-28. The conference will bring
together members and families from
more than 50 Child Survivors groups
worldwide along with other Holocaust
survivors, survivors' children and
grandchildren, also called Second and
Third Generation.
The World Federation is comprised of
Holocaust survivors who were children
persecuted by the Nazis in ghettos, in
camps, in hiding, on the run or forced to
leave Nazi-occupied Europe. Child sur-
vivors witnessed and experienced the
terror and cruelty that ruptured their
youth and shaped their lives. They often
suffer from feelings of abandonment
and from the trauma of lost childhoods.
Still, they are committed to telling
their stories, transmit their legacy and
encourage Holocaust education. They
wish to join with local communities to
educate others, to combat anti-
Semitism and bigotry.
The World Federation International
Conference will include workshops,
panel discussions, speakers, entertain-
ment and a Shabbat experience.
Participants will plan to visit the
Voice/Vision oral history project at the
University of Michigan-Dearborn and
the Holocaust Memorial Center.
"The conferences feature workshops
that target not only survivors, but also
spouses and children of survivors,
known as the Second Generation,"
says Miriam Ferber from Orchard
Lake. "Speakers also address us on
issues of concern. Being together with
other Child Survivors in a relaxed and
safe social atmosphere enables us to
discuss and share our experiences
\vith others who understand."
