Her family experienced the horrors of WWII and Nazi occupation firsthand. After German soldiers invaded in 1939, her father fled to England, while Lydia, her mother, and sister Ruth were trapped in Poland. In 1942, they were deported to Terezín, and later to Auschwitz, where Lydia’s mother was murdered. Lydia and Ruth were then sent to a labor camp in Oederan. After liberation, Lydia returned to Terezín, where she worked with children and decided to pursue child care. She later moved to the UK, trained in psychoanalysis with Anna Freud, and became a child psychotherapist. In 1993, she co-founded psychoanalytic psychotherapy training in the Czech Republic. ----- CHAPTERS: 0:00 INTRODUCTION 0:30 EXPERIENCE OF AUSCHWITZ? 3:09 DAY-TO-DAY SURIVIAL IN THE CAMPS 4:53 LIVING WITH HOLOCAUST DENIERS 6:34 HOW TO REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST
