The Good Old Days: The Holocaust as Seen by Its Perpetrators and Bystanders
The title "The Good Old Days" ("Schone Zeiten" in German) comes from the cover of a private photo album kept by concentration camp commandant Kurt Franz of Treblinka This gruesomely sentimental and unmistakably authentic title introduces an disturbing collection of photographs, diaries, letters home, and confidential reports created by the executioners and sympathetic observers of the Holocaust. "The Good Old Days" reveals startling new evidence of the inhumanity of recent twentieth century history and is published now as yet another irrefutable response to the revisionist historians who claim to doubt the historic truth of the Holocaust..

The Psychology of Genocide: Perpetrators, Bystanders, and Rescuers
Genocide has tragically claimed the lives of over 262 million victims in the last century Jews, Armenians, Cambodians, Darfurians, Kosovons, Rwandans, the list seems endless Clinical psychologist Steven K. Baum sets out to examine the psychological patterns to these atrocities. Building on trait theory as well as social psychology he reanalyzes key conformity studies (including the famous experiments of Ash, Millgram and Zimbardo) to bring forth a new understanding of identity and emotional development during genocide. Baum presents a model that demonstrates how people's actions during genocide actually mirror their behaviour in everyday life: there are those who destruct (perpetrators), those who help (rescuers) and those who remain uninvolved, positioning themselves between the two extremes (bystanders). Combining eyewitness accounts with Baum's own analysis, this book reveals the common mental and emotional traits among perpetrators, bystanders and rescuers and how a war between personal and social identity accounts for these divisions..

The Tears of the Ancestors: Victims and Perpetrators in the Tribal Soul
Tears of the Ancestors is an important contribution to our understanding of problems rooted in collective trauma. Individuals who have been abused and victimized will be helped by becoming aware of the patterns in the soul as it responds to deep relational trauma. Those who want to look into the shadows of history and the legacy of war, persecution and genocide will gain insight into what binds us to the groups we already belong to, and how we can manage this belonging in a responsible way. Daan van Kampenhout presents this work with a voice that gently allows not only a walk through various historical conflicts which have been crystallized with our image of who was the perpetrator and who was the victim, but he offers us a mirror as well. The author penetrates with a keen mind and experimental tools to an essential dimension and is able to relate even to painful and traumatic aspects of human experience with compassion and with trust in the basic all-rightness of all life. Chapter 1 Auschwitz-Birkenau Chapter 2 The Wheel of Souls Chapter 3 Ancestral Connections Chapter 4 Who Belongs?

Adult Bullying: Perpetrators and Victims
Adult Bullying has been written as the result of community anti-bullying projects in which distressingly large numbers of adults came forward for help, both as victims and as bullies. Peter Randall provides a detailed consideration of the nature and range of bullying, located within instrumental and affective agression. He describes the learning processes and the family backgrounds that give rise to bullies and victims, both as children and later as adults. The pervasive nature of these patterns shows that personal harrassment becomes a way of life, leading to a significant influence within the workplace and the community. Detailed case histories are used as illustrations throughout the text, providing evidence of the importance of bullying for those in business. Both non-specific bullying and the particular form known as sexual harrassment are shown to be common and, because some managers frequently use bullying tactics as part of their management style, sometimes difficult to trace. A detailed example of a personal harassment policy that works is provided, along with descriptions of the information needed to be given to managers and staff, including selection procedures, staff training and employee assistance programmes. Adult Bullying will be a valuable resource for managers, counsellors, social workers and anyone who has experienced bullying whether as victim or perpetrator..

Farewell. Family Constellations with Victims and Perpetrators
In his years of experience with patients, Hellinger has witnessed the consequences of the guilt of persecutors and the fate of victims of Nationalsocialism for subsequent generations.

In doing so, all participants are allowed to speak: survivors, children, even the guilty and the dead. When these voices are recognized, they withdraw and allow the living to transcend that boundary which still separates them from death..

Second Generation Voices: Reflections by Children of Holocaust Survivors and Perpetrators (Religion, Theology, and the Holocaust)
Descendants of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators offer profound insights into the intergenerational impact of their legacy and the second generation's role in shaping memory of the Shoah. Heirs to the legacy of Auschwitz, 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"..
