Emerging from the Shadows

Nina Krieger, Executive Director of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, states that Dr. Robert Krell's lived experience as a child survivor of the Holocaust, his professional expertise in psychiatry, and his tremendous vision and dedication have made him a pioneer in the field of Holocaust documentation and education. Rich with profound insights about survival, memory, and the potential of individuals of good conscience to make a difference, this collection of Dr.
Krell's keynote addresses is a gift. Marilyn Sinclair, Founder of Liberation75, agrees that his words are a precious gift of truth and insight. He takes you on a deeply emotional and profound journey toward understanding the impact of trauma on survivors - especially child survivors - and their descendants. Through the exploration of pain and suffering, we also witness the miracle of courage and resilience. Robert Krell was honoured by the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Descendants during their 2014 annual gathering held in Berlin, where he was recognized "as a friend, a brother, one of our 'guiding lights' who has helped us to recognize, define, and own our experiences as child survivors of the Holocaust, and continues to make the world aware of the impact those experiences had and continue to have on our lives."
