We supported the seminards of Fondation for holocaust victims.
We supported the seminars aimed at the workers in social, medical and psychological services of Jewish communities lead by foreign lecturer organised by The Foundation for Holocaust Victims.
We have been supporting the seminars since 2016. The participants find the seminars as a great benefit and inspiration for further work with survivors and their families. Martin Auerbach, the national clinical director of AMCHA in Israel, for example, focused his seminar on emotional burden and challenges associated with work in helping professions when working with Shoa survivors. Whereas a lecturer Maggie Gad, a director of the community programme of JDC Eshel from Israel, introduced various creative programmes for the survivors, that are aimed at their specific needs. Another lecturer, who attended the seminars, was Moshe Teller from Jewish Care London. Moshe gave a lecture on the Holocaust and its influence on the lives of the survivors and the way Holocaust projects to everyday life in the old age, its impact on relations in the families, especially to relations with the children of survivors.
