The Hayman Prize for Published Work pertaining to Traumatised Children and adults
This award, also funded by Dr Hayman, was set up in 1997. The effects of the Holocaust upon adult survivors have led to significant impact upon the development of their children. The effects upon children who were themselves interned in the camps have been less studied and the same is true for those children’s children. While some authors have recorded important clinical evidence of the trauma suffered by these children, further attention needs to be focused on the numerous areas of their functional development upon which Holocaust experiences have had impact, directly or indirectly.
