Memorial Candles: Children of the Holocaust

By: Dina Wardi

As the children of the Holocaust reach adulthood, they often need professional help in establishing a new identity and self-esteem. During their childhood their parents have unconsciously transmitted to them much of their own trauma, investing them with all their memories and hopes, so that they become 'memorial candles' to those who did not survive. The book combines verbatim transcriptions of dialogues in individual and group psychotherapy sessions with analyses of dreams, fantasies and childhood memories. Diana Wardi traces the emotional history of her patients, accompanying them on a painful and moving journey into their inner world. She describes the children's infancy in the guilt-laden atmosphere of survivor families, through to their difficult separation from their parents in maturity. she also traces in detail the therapeutic process which culminates in the patients' separation from the role of 'memorial candle'.

Auschwitz

Contemporary Jewish and Christian Encounters

By: Dina Wardi

Dina Wardi, an Israeli Jewish psychologist noted for her work with Holocaust survivors and their children, has written an account of her experiences leading a multinational group of Catholic nuns and priests during a conference on anti-Semitism, persecutions, and the Holocaust, which included visits to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The result is a dynamic portrayal of a trip to this most sacred place that has profoundly affected the lives and mission of all involved." "Auschwitz is an important study of the Jewish-Christian dialogue regarding Christian Holocaust guilt, anti-Semitism in the Catholic Church, and ecumenism."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Corruption in the MENA Region

Beyond Uprisings

By: Dina Elsayed

This book explores the causes of corruption in the Middle East and North Africa through a systematic cross-national comparative analysis of fifteen countries in the region. It aims to explain causal relationships between corruption and differences in political and socio-economic dimensions within these different countries over the period 1999-2010. The countries are grouped together into three sub-regions (the Gulf region, North Africa, and Mashreq plus Yemen). The author finds that the main variables that showed robustness in impacting the intensity of corruption are the rule of law, quality of regulations, and trade openness. Poverty rates and income inequality have been clear triggers for petty corruption. Meanwhile, natural resources endowments have shown less of an impact on the levels of corruption, and similarly women's empowerment has not been found to be a strong indicator. Dina Elsayed is Assistant Professor of Political Science, Egypt. She obtained her doctorate degree from the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. Her research focuses on comparative politics, corruption and governance in the MENA region.
