Abstract

From the clinical account of Rose, child hidden during the Shoah, we try to show that it is not so much to have been hidden that was traumatic, that to have been placed, "hidden" will she say, after war by his mother. The trauma following the separations, the danger of the deportation, switches to the side of an impossible representation. Rose has no images of time, no images that make her dream of a possible. A possible life where she could re-feel. Rose feels like she's been hiding twice. Once to protect himself from the Nazis and a second time, to allow his mother to remarry. She is this time hidden by her mother who does not see her. These children who are no longer children, alerted by the worst, at best taking refuge in the world of silence to protect themselves from the cold of words. They have lived too much and yet they must continue to pretend to be children. They are the hidden children. Rose has turned to melancholy, she will make several suicide attempts. However, she decided to come talk in the context of a psycho-traumatism center which center, I will suggest that she goes out to work on what is the "victim". © 2019 Boeck Universite.
