When trying to grasp the realities of the Holocaust and of all mass trauma, a witnessing process ... more When trying to grasp the realities of the Holocaust and of all mass trauma, a witnessing process is essential to allow the story to enter one’s mind and to be able to hold on to one’s sanity. A force, an anti-trauma force, is needed to counter the overwhelming impact felt when facing absolutely horrifying events. There must be a belief that there is a receiver of the story, internal or external, who will be unwavering in listening and will accept its truth. This is necessary as well for development of a witnessing process in psychoanalytic therapies when facing terrors in the mind, and I thank my patients for teaching me in depth about this. I develop here a metaphor, the “Anti-Train, ” to represent the power of witnessing. You are invited to enter this place as you too become a witness to all of the contributions in the book. In my descriptions you will find a special location for partnership and valuing of finding out what happened and how the stories can be told. As a symbol, the...

The writings about film collected here show the importance of attaining some space in our minds in order to name and process the horrors of genocide and individual suffering. The medium of film provides enough distance from traumatic events, even if that space is minuscule, to allow us at least to approach some knowledge of the horrid unknowable. The written commentaries in this book help us further organize the disorder of annihilation. This double remove from events-first the films and then these essays-lets us breathe when we feel asphyxiated and unable to survive what is being revealed. The book's editors, Diana Diamond and Bruce Sklarew, have gathered together psychoanalysts who know film and are fearless in their ability to witness trauma. We learn about the "too much" of the Shoah and about the dimensions of thinking itself. Psychoanalytic concepts bring reflection to the representations of the unbearable horrors and atrocities of the Holocaust. After an initial read-through of the chapters, I realized that the writings in this volume bring wisdom to our psychoanalytic work with the psychic helplessness found in traumatized patients' minds and in our own as witnesses. Each chapter provides helpful psychoanalytic understanding of the severe psychic wounds left in our minds after confronting the Holocaust. The writings here inspire belief in psychoanalysis as a treatment to help individuals and society face deeply painful, often unremitting traumas.
