About this book
After October 7th, which confronted children with unimaginable violence, the potential to apply post-WW II and Holocaust child rehabilitation approaches became clearly visible and urgent. After 1945, hundreds of thousands of children had to be brought back to everyday life against the background of harrowing experiences during the Holocaust years. This volume bridges historical insights with current challenges, offering strategies for rehabilitating conflict-affected youth. It synthesizes knowledge from diverse fields to support victims of war and displacement. The work transforms past experiences into actionable support, equipping professionals with insights to reshape child rehabilitation in conflict zones, underscoring the importance of historical lessons in addressing present-day crises.
- creates usable cases from the past for supporting children affected by war, genocide, displacement, and trauma
- bridges the gap between historical scholarship and the operational level of the rehabilitation response
- historically conscious approaches for policies in light of current wars and violence – with learnings from the post-Holocaust years
- expertise from caretakers, practitioners from various fields, and historians
