Die "Gefühlserbin" - Zur Psychologie des Erinnerns | Zeitzeugengespräch mit Dr. Eva Umlauf

Remembering means preserving or recovering the contents of a memory. These can be very precise, but can also only reflect vague impressions. Past events are often stored in several layers: Similar to a movie, the memory records pictorial elements or scenes, as well as sounds, smells and feelings.

Dr. Eva Umlauf is one of the youngest survivors of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp. In 1944, at the age of two, she was taken to the concentration camp with her pregnant mother and father on one of the last deportation trains. Apart from the prisoner number tattooed on her arm, she has few concrete memories of Auschwitz. After her liberation, she grew up in what was then Czechoslovakia, studied medicine and came to Munich with her husband in 1967, where she still works today as a specialist in psychotherapeutic medicine. It was only in 2014, after suffering a heart attack, that she began to publish her story. Her family rarely talked about the Holocaust.

In conversation with BADEHAUS Chairwoman
Dr. Sybille Krafft, the "emotional heiress", as
Dr. Eva Umlauf calls herself, explains psychological aspects of remembering. The evening will be accompanied by film clips and music by the Beermann brothers.
