Memory of fear and sufference in the camp. Testimonies of the Shoah survivors

Summary/Abstract: Fear was regarded as a complex and paradoxical feeling not only by specialists in medical sciences but also by specialists in social sciences. This study aims to analyse aspects of fear in the the testimonies of the Shoah survivors. It is about common fear (generated by the threat and danger) and also about pathological fear (generated by the post-traumatic stress). The research is based on some testimonies of the survivors of the Nazi camp: Edith Fülop, Eva Kondás, Iudith Varodi, Marta şi Robert Marmor. Our study is structured on four sections: „The feeling of insecurity and fear before deportation”, „Sufference, fear and dehumanizing”, „Hope and surviving”, „The consequences of the camp: trauma of survival”. As a conclusion, it is not exagerated to state that the life of the survivors remains a permanent confrontation to one’s own past and the survival itself becomes sometimes a real trauma.
