6:00pm - 6:30pm = Exhibition View 6:30pm - 8:00pm = Talk by Dr Joanna B. Michlic
Michlic examines the situation of Jewish child survivors in Poland in the early postwar period. She argues that each of the young survivors had his own or her own special life story that consisted of a unique universe of experiences, interactions, reactions, and beliefs. Yet at the same time, certain patterns in the children’s relations with the adult world in the early postwar period can be delineated, allowing us to conceptualize the macro-history of Jewish child survivors in that period. Starting life anew was a turbulent process, filled with enthusiasm, naiveté, trust, and hope on the one hand, and with fear, uncertainty, and emotional upheaval on the other. Child survivors’ accounts attest to the great vulnerability of children in the adult world not only during the war-time era, but also during the early post-war period.Speaker
