80 Years after the Liberation of Auschwitz – „Traumatic Wounds Don’t Simply Disappear over Time“

On January 27th in 1945 the Sowjet Army entered the concentration camp of Auschwitz. What they discovered was evidence for a monstrous crime, which still shapes the lives of the offspring – both of the murderers and of the escaped victims. Rabbi Tirzah Firestone grew up with a silence she only late in life learned to understand as the consequence of a victim-story in her own family, which nobody dared to transmit. She has had a hard time to deal with it, until she learned to transform the wound into wisdom. Is healing possible, is it possible, even in our times of terrible new wars, to keep up hope and the strive for spiritual healing?
Come and see and form your own opinion.
