Book excerpt: I am a Standupster, A Second Generation Survivors Account, by the Daughter of David Zauder, is the first-ever biography of Internationally Acclaimed Holocaust and Anti-bullying Educator and Speaker, Karen Zauder Brass. Her book is a very rare exploration into the effects of being raised by a parent who suffered the inhumanity of genocide and its unimaginable costs.

The deep injury to their survivor parents psyches cannot simply be put aside and has deep and lasting effects on their children. From her earliest years, Brass was fully aware of who her surviving parent needed her to be. This is a book of deep introspection that also shares the Authors path to self-acceptance, happiness, and her powerful desire to make changes in our world by educating audiences, one human being at a time, to not stand by and allow for the suffering of others; To be a Standupster. Brass provides the descriptive background of her Father, David Zauders survival of the Krakow Ghetto and four concentration camps including Auschwitz. His survival of a true hell on Earth, and his success in emigrating from Poland, after his liberation by General Pattons 3rd Army Tank Division, then travel from Germany to America and becoming one of this countrys leading cornet and trumpet players will inspire you and touch your heart. For educators, Brass weaves her Fathers story into a groundbreaking international anti-bullying campaign which has been experienced by thousands of Middle and High School aged students, adults, and hundreds of high-ranking military officials. Acclaimed by educators, principals and parents alike, Brass Standupster presentations and campaign has been effective in reducing bullying in schools because it provides a rallying cry for everyone to never stand by in the face of hatred, bigotry, and injustice; the program calls on the audience to use personal responsibility and moral leadership to rise together as being a Standupster to stop the bullying.

Download or read book Trauma Filters Through written by Karen Zauder Brass and published by . This book was released on 2018-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to a family when the first generation has suffered intense trauma and lives with PTSD? How can a family recover and move on from irrational bullying and hatred today? Karen Z. Brass believes no one should ever stand silent in the face of hatred. While sharing her father's story of survival from the holocaust, she weaves in her thoughts concerning what it means to be a bystander who by their inaction contributes to the abuse. Brass believes that one must eliminate discrimination, as it is cruel, irrational, and only flourishes when bystanders are present and do not act. Brass promotes being a "Standupster," working to eliminate bullying in today's school environments, work environments and other community centers. She began her web site, www.standupsters.com and her Facebook page of the same name to make what she teaches more accessible to teachers, parents, students and communities alike. Hatred of others' differences must be stopped; together we are stronger because of our unique differences. She also teaches why it is important to put an end to stereotyping, selecting scapegoats, and the proliferation of racism and prejudice. Brass' goal in writing Trauma Filters Through is to share her personal history of being the daughter of a holocaust survivor and to explore how the trauma is passed down through multiple generations. This is why our history is important; it affects all of us, and the ripple effect is both deep and wide. It is our responsibility to bear witness to the past and drive change through evolved thinking, by taking actions to prevent continuing genocides and abusive behavior in our future.

Download or read book After Such Knowledge written by Eva Hoffman and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Holocaust recedes in time, the guardianship of its legacy is being passed on from its survivors and witnesses to the next generation. How should they, in turn, convey its knowledge to others? What are the effects of a traumatic past on its inheritors? And what are the second-generation's responsibilities to its received memories? In this meditation on the long aftermath of atrocity, Eva Hoffman -- a child of Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust with the help of neighbors, but whose entire families perished -- probes these questions through personal reflections, and through broader explorations of the historical, psychological, and moral implications of the second-generation experience. She examines the subterranean processes through which private memories of suffering are transmitted, and the more willful stratagems of collective memory. She traces the "second generation's" trajectory from childhood intimations of horror, through its struggles between allegiance and autonomy, and its complex transactions with children of perpetrators. As she guides us through the poignant juncture at which living memory must be relinquished, she asks what insights can be carried from the past to the newly problematic present, and urges us to transform potent family stories into a fully informed understanding of a forbidding history.
Download or read book Second Generation Voices written by Alan L. Berger and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heirs to the legacy of Auschwjtz, the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators have always been thought of as separated by fear and anger, mistrust and shame. This groundbreaking study provides a forum for expression in which each group reflects candidly upon the consuming burdens and challenges it has inherited. In these intensely personal and frequently dramatic pieces, understandable differences surface. The Jewish second generation is unified by a search for memory and family. Their German counterparts experience the opposite. Yet surprising common ground is revealed. Each group emerges out of households where, for vastly different reasons, the Holocaust was not mentioned. Each struggles to break this barrier of silence. Each has witnessed the continued survival of parents and must grapple with living in households haunted by denial. And each knows it is his or her charge to shape the Holocaust for future generations. To be sure, there is disagreement among the groups about the need for-or wisdom of-dialogue. Yet Second Generation Voices boldly engenders authentic grounds for discussion. Issues such as guilt, anger, religious faith, and accountability are explored in deeply felt poems, essays, and narratives. Jew and German alike speak openly of forming and affirming their own identities, reconnecting with roots, and working through their own "psychological Holocaust."

Download or read book Holocaust and Nature written by Didier Pollefeyt and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume makes clear how Nazism was not only an attack on the human species and the Jewish people in particular, but also an attack on nature. Further, it examines the victims of the Holocaust for whom nature was not only a source of supplementary pain, but also a source of hope and redemption. The book reveals parallels between the attitudes of the bystanders during the Holocaust and us - bystanders today - watching the ecological disaster with the same passivity. The book's unique conclusion will challenge each reader. In addition to teaching us to be critical about our concepts of nature, as well as to remember the victims, the Holocaust also teaches us to become rescuers rather than bystanders in light of the contemporary destruction of nature.
