National Socialism and World War II are part of the lives of today's older generation. They play an important, often dramatic, and conflict-laden role in the daily routine of elder care. For caregivers, they present both a challenge and a task. Anna Katharina Rau has compiled current research findings from the social sciences for the first time. From this, she develops a variety of suggestions for caregivers. The author demonstrates how caregivers can address these specific biographical challenges. She also explains the impact on the children of the witnesses and how they can be integrated into care. The book serves as an ideal foundation for initial training, further education, and professional development. It enables a deeper understanding of the biographies of these witnesses.
