And You Shall Tell Your Children: A Chronicle of Survival â Lessons of Life for Today - Tapa blanda

Based on the author’s personal experience as a survivor of the Holocaust and the experience of individuals she has come across in her practice as a pediatrician and psychoanalyst and in her personal life, And You Shall Tell Your Children is a synthesis that describes the process of passage from death to life and gathers inherited Jewish wisdom. Focusing on the people of Israel, the land of Israel, and the Torah, the book espouses a message of resilience in the face of a sometimes-cruel reality. This volume offers a professional and human analysis of the “pathology” of the survivor and the process of overcoming this handicap in order to rehabilitate oneself, enabling readers to identify with this process when facing their own difficulties and to rebuild their present lives in a positive way.

Dr. Ida Akerman-Tieder is a German-born pediatrician, psychoanalyst, and poet. A survivor of the Holocaust, she lived for many years in France before immigrating to Israel.
