Abstract
This paper provides a brief glimpse of Holocaust literature by reviewing a few selected examples of diaries, memoirs, fiction, and poetry, besides taking a look at the "Holocaust denial" literature. The author describes how these works express the spectrum of emotions experienced by victims and survivors because they are personal accounts. Each genre that the author includes is described with specific examples. Special attention is given to Holocaust denial as well.
Outline:
Diaries and Memoirs
Fiction
Poetry
Holocaust Denial
From the Paper
"Apart from the numerous history books on the Holocaust, an enormous amount of literature on the most horrific event of the 20th century exists in the form of memoirs, diaries, letters, works of fiction including novels and short stories, as well as poetry, plays and paintings. Most of them have been written (or sketched/ painted) by Holocaust survivors, providing us with a first hand perspective of the horrors of the Holocaust. Being personal accounts or loosely autobiographical stories, they provide us with something the history books cannot--the survivors' emotions, thoughts, hopes and dreams, and their reactions to the terror of the Holocaust. The literature is a testimony to the resilience of human spirit and the will to survive in the most terrible circumstances imaginable; it also reflects the goodness and compassion of the human spirit as well as its unadulterated evilness. At times the literature even depicts the peculiar emotion of the "survivor's guilt"--the sense of remorse at having survived the terrible ordeal when many of their near and dear ones perished. This paper provides a brief glimpse of the Holocaust literature by reviewing a few selected examples of diaries, memoirs, fiction, and poetry besides taking a look at the "Holocaust denial" literature."

Abstract
In this article the writer discusses that the work 'Counseling Survivors of Sexual Abuse' authored by Diane M. Langberg is a powerful, daring and effective book. The writer presents her personal reaction to the treatment of sexual abuse and notes that the book opened her eyes to what treatments are used to assist an abuser and what foundations are used to get over the abuse. The writer concludes with a very favorable impression of Dr. Langberg's passion to aide, assist and help the survivors that have been sexually abused, especially in the theological framework of people that have been traumatized.
From the Paper
"Another eye opener is the fact that Dr. Langberg encourages survivors to write out Isaiah 53, which should assist with brining God closer into their lives since Jesus suffered on the cross and was resurrected.
"It seems that there are various factors that affect a child's reaction to abuse to include how the child perceives the abuser and distinctive things associated from the assault. Dr. Langberg observed and counseled symptomatic and asymptomatic victims; as part of treatment methods, reunification issues and cognitive therapy along with nondirective support therapy. Dr. Langberg uses individual therapy as opposed to group therapy."

Abstract
An analysis of PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder in Holocaust survivors. The author investigates the type of war-related stress experienced by Holocaust survivors including a diagnosis and assessment of this disease.
From the Paper
"The atrocities surrounding the events known as the Holocaust are well documented. It is also well known that over 6 million Jews were executed during World War II. What became of the survivors, though, and how do they deal with their memories? By exploring the effects of the Holocaust on the people who were involved, one may also discover how to deal with the pain caused by their long-term suffering and severe trauma. The central goal of this work is to provide information on war-related traumatic stress, particularly in diagnosis, assessment, and forensic psychology."

Abstract
The writer defines the terms, gives a history of successful group therapy situations and examines the proposal of group therapy for this population. The paper concludes that further research needs to be conducted surrounding the validity of using group therapy with this population, differences in outcome using different models of group therapy and the differences between individual and group therapy.
From the Paper
"Another factor to consider when designing a group for CSA survivors is the amount of structure under which the group will operate. Mennen & Meadow (1993) believe structure is an especially important concern when dealing with this population due to the history of these clients. Many of their histories include an abuser who created and defined their reality and feelings, a situation that should not be recreated in the therapy group. An overemphasis on structure can lead the members into a dependent relationship with the group leaders in which the survivors wait for the therapists to define and direct the process of the group, rather than taking charge of their own recovery (Ettin, 1989). In defense of a structured format, it has been found that through structured exercises, common themes can be raised and explored in a way that has proven effective for other groups (Mennen & Meadow, 1993)."

From the Paper
"When the Titanic sank on April 14, 1912, only approximately 700 of her more than 2,200 passengers were rescued. Out of those only 26 percent were in the third class, even though Titanic carried more third class passengers than first and second combined (Geller 197-216). Subsequent survivor accounts would reveal that first and second class passengers were given more opportunities for rescue in several ways. Eloise Smith was a first class passenger who escaped in a lifeboat. Her account hints at the underlying view that largely determined who survived the sinking of Titanic: "The cries [of passengers in the sea] we heard I thought were seamen, or possibly steerage who had overslept, it not occurring to me for a moment that my husband and my friends were not saved" (Quinn 112)."
On 10 April 1912, the American-owned British-operated White Star

The Victims and Survivors of Downsizing, 2008.
A look at the negative effect on employees of downsizing.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at some of the problems of downsizing, a common trend among organizations all over the world since the early 80s. The paper points out that downsizing, also known as, layoffs, rightsizing, or restructuring, has many names, but has a clear meaning, which is, the loss of employment for some select employees in organizations. Mergers, acquisitions, technological changes and global competition contribute to the organization's decision to downsize which forces employees to be the survivors or the victims of this process. This paper explores the problems faced by post-downsizing victims and survivors, and how the management of an organization can help the employees work through this phase. It concludes that downsizing is a constant trend that is thought to bring in some benefits to the organizations, however, cutting back on job positions leaves a negative impact on both victims and survivors.
From the Paper
"In the post-downsizing phase, the management of an organization needs to deal with victims and survivors in a very tactful way, as employees are one of the most important elements which contribute to an organization's productivity, competitiveness, effectiveness and efficiency (Manfred et. al, 1997). When employees are faced with job insecurity, it is said that the "psychological contract" between the employer and employee has been broken. This contract ensures the employees job satisfaction and security, and when this is broken, it is very difficult for management to win back the trust of its employees. Organizations have different ways of helping the victims and survivors of downsizing, but there are a few which are more efficient than the others."

From the Paper
"In conclusion, nurses must be keenly aware of the individual definitions of quality of life and when working with a stroke survivor, remain diligent in drawing the patient out in effective communication to ascertain how they believe their quality of life is being or has been affects by the stroke. Nurses spend more time with patients than any other health care professional; nurses foster a greater sense of patient trust than other health care professionals (Dr. Danielle West, personal communication, October 10, 2006). Nurses should use that trust to provide caring interventions for their patients, acting as case managers or advocates for the stroke survivor."

Abstract
The paper looks at several sources, including first-hand accounts of survivors, to discover what were the events that led to the rescue of some passengers when the majority did not survive the sinking ship. The writer brings in several theories from the rescue of women and children only to the inability of non-English speakers to understand the full scope of the impending tragedy.
From the Paper
"On 10 April 1912, the American-owned British-operated White Star liner Titanic departed from the Irish port of Queenstown on her maiden voyage. She carried approximately 2,228 passengers and crew, including 1,697 men (12 years of age and older) and 528 women and children (Geller 8). Four days later, on April 14, 1912, the Titanic sank two hours and 40 minutes after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic (Geller 8). Titanic was built in a period of history called the Edwardian Era in Britain, La Belle Epoque in France and the Gilded Age in America (Geller 13). The period was characterized by the Industrial Revolution, which helped fuel a change in the traditional society."

"Therapy for Holocaust Survivors
The term "Holocaust" is commonly used to refer to the death of six million European Jews through the Third Reich's system of concentration camps, murder squadrons, and killing centers (Lifton, 1986). Rubenstein and Roth (1987), however, would expand the term to include the 11 million non-Jews that were also killed by these methods. Specifically, the authors would conceptualize the holocaust as a sacrifice of defenseless human life centered around religious factors and issues which produced in its wake continuing and compelling questions about God and morality.
Despite the presence of continuing religious questions and issues, some would say that the wake of the holocaust is also fraught with different issues, namely the myriad psychological..."

From the Paper
" This paper analyzes the recent (1983) congressional reforms of the Old.Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Program (OASDI), better known to most people in the United States as the Social Security Program. The analysis employs a format suggested by Garry Brewer and Peter de Leon in their work, The Foundations
of Policy Analysis (1983, p. 155). Features of the 1983 reforms to be discussed, therefore, include: the background of the impending crisis in the OASDI Trust Fund; the institutions and beneficiaries affected by the reforms; the goals and objectives of reform; alternatives of reform available to the Congress. The analysis discusses, finally, the implementation of the OASDI reforms and gives an account of who "won" and who "lost" as a(...)"

Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse, 2006.
A discussion regarding sexual abuse, the effects of the abuse and the aftermath.

Abstract
This paper takes a look at sexual abuse. According to the paper, studies have suggested that one in three girls in the United States will experience some form of sexual abuse by the age of eighteen. The paper discusses how the aftermath of childhood sexual abuse can lead to mental illness, binge eating disorders and substance abuse.
From the Paper
"Another self-harm behavior also frequently found in adult survivors of CSA is substance abuse. Often survivors will turn to alcohol or drugs as a way to escape the emotional pain or trauma associated with the abuse they suffered as a child. The survivor looks at their substance use as a way to control their feelings over the abuse. They feel an actual sense of control over the situation. In all actuality, as seen with self-mutilation, it is only a false sense of empowerment felt and is actually another form of revictimization (Slater et al., 2003)."
"Once involved with drugs or alcohol as a coping mechanism, life for a survivor can quickly spin out of control. Becoming dependent on alcohol or drugs is dangerous for anyone, but for victims of CSA the risk is even greater due to the false sense of empowerment that they gain. By engulfing themselves in substance abuse, they can create a fantasy world of safety, security, and control in their life (Slater et al., 2003)."

Survivors in Literature, 2007.
This paper discusses the question of survival in "Survival in Auschwitz" by Primo Levi, "Wind, Sand and Stars " by Antoine de Saint Exupery, and "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison .

Abstract
This paper argues that the protagonists in 'Survival in Auschwitz' and in 'Wind, Sand, and Stars' survived their ordeal and returned and became productive members of society. The author points out that they were able to survive and to return because they found that their lives had meaning. The paper contends that the protagonist in "Invisible Man" had more difficulty because the society he has left would not welcome him back.
From the Paper
"The protagonist in "Invisible Man", an ambitious, polite and intelligent black man, states that he is invisible only because people refuse to see him. His solitude is the result of alienation. Perhaps, his task is the most difficult of the three books because it is not simply he who must adapt, but society must also change if he is to return and interact with human beings in a normal way. The protagonist in "Invisible Man" is expected to live humbly in white society while at the same time he is being abused, a situation presented to him as "normal." For example, when he gives his graduation speech as valedictorian of his class, he is allowed to give it only after being forced to participate in a brutal, humiliating, and demeaning "boxing match" designed to be a spectacle and entertainment for an ignorant, racist, white crowd."

"Survivor", 2002.
A rhetoric criticism of the television series "Survivor".
3,054 words (approx. 12.2 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 89.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper begins with a discussion of the roots and definition of the word 'rhetoric' by Greek philosophers. It uses as an example of 'rhetoric criticism', a review of the television series by the name of "Survivor" where sixteen carefully chosen people are ?cast away? on a movie set that happens to be on an exotic island. The significance of the phenomenal success of the television show "Survivor" is based upon its supposed reality and has evoked much controversy and debate.
From the Paper
"Rhetoric is defined as a counterpart of Dialectic where, in the literal sense of the word, the former is the art of speaking or writing. Rhetoric comes from the Greek word for speech. It has not always been considered a respectable academic discipline. Plato was critical of the idea that rhetoric should be called an art, while Aristotle argued in On Rhetoric that it was indeed an art. Plato?s perspective on rhetoric has not been uncommon throughout the ages, namely, that rhetoric is no art at all but merely practiced flattery where rhetoric is labeled as the art of persuasion."
