ABSTRACT
Time is dynamic, not static; one moment leads to another. Like a pebble in a stream or waves on the shore, time cannot be permanently captured, stopped, or reversed. Any rupture leaves its mark. In the context of the Holocaust, there was a catastrophic immeasurable rupture in the fabric of the society and in the psyches of those who experienced or bore witness. The Holocaust has been characterized as representing an experience that is “epochal”; that it occurred at a specific point in time has a monumental impact on both history and the individuals (Engelman, Day, & Durant, 1993).
