History is more than the past. Framing the present and forging the future, the narratives of generations gone by provide not only a window into humanity\u2019s oft-forgotten stories, but also a reflection of who we are today.<\/p>\n

Take, for instance, a moment in time: When Dr. Sarah Seiselmyer-Snyder<\/a> was only in fifth grade, the trajectory of her career was set into motion. \u201cA Holocaust survivor came and shared a presentation with our class,\u201d she reflects. \u201cI knew about the Holocaust, but hearing the testimony of a survivor first-hand led me to connect with the subject more deeply.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an adjunct professor of humanities at Goodwin University, Sarah teaches topics ranging from world cultures to the Bosnian Genocide<\/a>, bringing a survivor-focused perspective on the humanities to her students. In her first book, Trauma Beyond Time: Temporal Constructs in Holocaust Testimonies<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, she examines the Holocaust through the lens of generational trauma \u2014 reminding audiences that pain from the past can still be felt today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened then is still felt now\u201d<\/h2>\n

Throughout her schooling, Sarah was an avid reader of Holocaust history, testimonies, and narratives \u2014 both fiction and nonfiction \u2014 before eventually traveling to Poland and Germany during her senior year of college. While that visit proved deeply impactful, it was during her master\u2019s studies that the idea for her book truly began to take shape, when she undertook intensive research and fieldwork at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.<\/p>\n

Located in O\u015bwi\u0119cim, Poland, Auschwitz-Birkenau<\/a> once operated as the largest extermination center of the Holocaust. It now serves as a museum and memorial honoring the over 1.5 million lives lost. Here, Sarah lent her efforts to essential conservation and preservation efforts while continuing her research. The experience was, at times, overwhelming. \u201cMentally and physically, it was very challenging,\u201d she recalls. \u201cAs researchers, we were housed at the camp in old offices. It was isolating work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2015, Sarah returned to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum<\/a> as a volunteer for an event honoring the 70th anniversary of the camp\u2019s liberation \u2014 an event for which survivors and their families were invited to return.<\/p>\n

For some survivors, this presented an emotional obstacle. \u201cMany of those who traveled to the event were surprised to find they would be staying in camp,\u201d Sarah explains. \u201cSome survivors were proud to return and felt like they were reclaiming their stories. But for others, it was really retraumatizing. Many of them left.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cognizant of these distinct reactions to the survivors\u2019 return, Sarah began grappling with critical questions: \u201cAs scholars, how do we interact with survivors who have faced traumatic experiences? How do we perceive trauma?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

These queries sparked the dissertation that would evolve into Trauma Beyond Time<\/em>. \u201cI wanted to challenge the narratives around trauma and genocide \u2014 particularly, the notion that these experiences have a definitive end-date for survivors,\u201d<\/strong> she outlines. \u201cWhat happened then is still felt now. It just trickles down.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

About Trauma Beyond Time<\/em><\/h2>\n
\"Book
Trauma Beyond Time: Temporal Constructs in Holocaust Testimonies was released on December 15, 2025, by Purdue University Press.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Informing Sarah\u2019s hypothesis was the concept of generational trauma<\/a>, a psychological and physiological experience wherein trauma responses cause behaviors, sentiments, and anxieties to be passed down amongst families and communities. \u201cWorking with family members of survivors and victims, I saw that the trauma of the Holocaust extended beyond the generations most immediately affected by it,\u201d she explains. \u201cYounger relatives of survivors would often cite the Holocaust itself as the chief source of their trauma \u2014not their parents or older relatives. So, how can we recognize these experiences and help people navigate them?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trauma Beyond Time<\/em> explores this question anecdotally, with the central case study of the book focusing on one family\u2019s story: The Tabaks. \u201cI first met Freida Tabak in 2018 when I was presented with an opportunity to interview Holocaust survivors.\u201d Sarah quickly felt a kinship with Freida. \u201cShe has such a lively energy and an amazing sense of humor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah\u2019s initial conversations with Freida occurred over Skype, and she soon noticed a barrier. \u201cSometimes, it seemed like her answers were a bit rehearsed, and it was hard to dive deeper at first.\u201d To strengthen their rapport, Sarah began meeting with Freida in person, ultimately inspiring the deeper conversations that serve as the backbone of the book.<\/p>\n

Navigating a family narrative<\/h2>\n

Given that Trauma Beyond Time<\/em> adopts a multigenerational approach to Holocaust studies, it wouldn\u2019t be enough for Sarah to interview Freida alone. To serve the purpose of the book \u2014 and do full justice to the Tabak family\u2019s experiences \u2014 Sarah arranged interviews with Freida\u2019s children, who readily agreed to participate. \u201cThey were really open and honest,\u201d Sarah recalls.<\/p>\n

This was a double-sided coin, however, calling for discretion. \u201cI had to determine the best way to tell an honest story that did the kids justice, too, but without potentially hurting Freida.\u201d<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t the only challenge to navigate. Touching on survivors\u2019 direct experiences with the Holocaust and its subsequent generational impacts \u2014 such as addiction and suicide \u2014 was professionally and personally trying. \u201cI definitely had to take breaks from the process,\u201d she notes. \u201cEspecially after my own daughter was born.\u201d<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Sarah is eager to see how audiences respond to Trauma Beyond Time<\/em>. But her eyes are also set to the future. \u201cI want to do more work focusing on global genocide outside of the Holocaust to help share experiences from other cultures and countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the face of national and global challenges, Trauma Beyond Time<\/em> shines a compelling light on the importance of showing up with compassion. Sarah hopes this will be a main takeaway for readers. \u201cThese experiences still happen,\u201d she emphasizes. \u201cWe need to not only position ourselves to understand these global events, but to also understand their long-term impacts. My hope is that by seeing how these events impact generations of families, we can contextualize the reality that trauma doesn\u2019t end \u2018in the moment\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
