Scarred Children of Abuse and Horrors

Gerry Chidiac’s, piece about the wounds that human atrocities leave on children, appeared in The Prince George Citizen and Troy Media:

“In many ways, Mouth of Truth: Buried Secrets by Lillian Boraks- Nemetz, is ground-breaking. As a child survivor of the Holocaust, Lillian experienced the confusion and pain of a world that made no sense. Though she survived, she was deeply impacted. A child needs to feel loved and safe, to be cared for, to be able to trust. This was not the case for a child of the Holocaust. Not only did these people experience fear and neglect, they suffered the absolute trauma of living through horrific experiences, along with the guilt of surviving while others did not. It is no surprise, therefore, that child survivors would have many demons to face later in life.”
