ABSTRACT
In this chapter, through interviews with Edith, Elena presents Edith’s views on Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Erna Furman (a child psychoanalyst who worked with Friedl in Terezin as a young woman), and Terezin itself. The material is fascinating, as it makes the extreme hardship of the Terezin experience more real for the reader. Art therapists gain a sense of what the survivors went through, and how vital Friedl’s teaching was to the children and young people in Terezin, as well as how fundamental her thinking was to Edith’s approach to art as therapy.
