The presenter describes her father’s experience as a Holocaust survivor and how his unfinished mourning contributes to her struggle with muteness and her own story of being dwarfed by the magnitude of her parents’ losses. When her non-Jewish mother is honored by Yad Vashem, the ceremony proves powerful. Witnessing by community and internet helps dissolve the shame and isolation, heal some of the trauma, and develop greater psychological freedom. The author memorializes her parents and her lost relatives and succeeds in working through much that had haunted her.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe one impact of intergenerational transmission of trauma.
– Describe one benefit of ceremonial and witnessing experience.
– Identify one way to transform psychic ghosts and inhibitions.
