Traces of Holocaust Project
Sep 9-15, 2024 in Krakow + Auschwitz Poland
Dear Colleagues + dear community of therapists, coaches and counselors of all kinds, dear everybody who is interested in transgenerational work,
for many experts of all kinds, as well as for many people from the general public
the “Traces of Holocaust” workshops have had enlightening and life-changing effects. They accompanied the work of PAfE and FEPTO as training components of exceptional importance for many educational establishments and purposes all over the world since more than 30 years.
Hilde Gött and Yaacov Naor (who tragically past away in 2018) developed this work together, as descendants from families of the victim and the perpetrator side of the Shoa. Their work is worldwide known and acknowledged.
During the years 2017 and 2018, they opened their team for new members, to pave the way for the continuation of those workshops.
In 2023, after the Covid pandemic – now in the new team – we were finally able to restart the workshops. We shared two days in Krakov, learning about the best preserved Jewish quarter all over Europe and preparing our visit of the camp Auschwitz 1 and Birkenau.
The following three days we stayed there, in a conference center and on the very ground of the unparalleled bestiality, working about the very individual traces of the group members and about the impacts of the Shoa up to today. Krakow and the memorial places in Oswiecim and Birkenau are our preferred places to work because of their powerful impact as reminder of the past in the present.
We, the leaders of this project
are living examples of the fruits of this dialogue. Accepting the legacy of the late Yaacov Naor we carry this work forward to the times after the death of the last witnessing survivors. We develop new forms of work for remembrance and mutual recognition.

Peace is not the lack of conflicts.
We believe that our work as professionals should be devoted to learning how to live with conflicts. We explore how we, like all human beings, internalize experiences in the role of perpetrators and victims. Our aim is to find acceptive encounters with the inner „Other“, the „Different“ or the “Enemy within”, instead of projecting own unaccepted shadows. This may not lead to forgiveness or reconciliation but can heal some of the wounds.
Above all, it may open a dialogue.
Come in 2024
to our dynamic active unmasking group workshop using Psychodrama and Sociodrama in order to encounter the traces of the Holocaust in the present life. In all workshops of PASSERELLES we refer to the transgenerational backgrounds as WW2, Shoah, the division of Europe, life on both sides of the “iron curtain” and more. Actual outcomes of these historical events are (for example) European border conflicts, flight and expulsion, minority – majority issues, up to the effects of the Corona pandemic, the actual war in Ukraine and much more.
We work with methods of Psychodrama and Expressive Arts Therapy. No prior experience in Psychodrama is needed.
