Abstract
This paper reports on a document study of children’s drawings from the Terezin concentration camp during the Holocaust years of 1941 - 1945. The research discusses drawings; first as a background to the Holocaust, where children were living in that liminal space between dream and reality. Next, using Haring’s (2012) Content, Interpretive and Developmental (CID) method of analysis, an exploration of children’s lives, as expressed through their drawings, is presented. Within this liminal space, emotions such as despair, depression and fear accompanied by intuitive knowledge, memory, resilience and wellness were experienced. The Terezin drawings demonstrate children’s intuitive knowledge and feelings of foreboding, as well as their resilience and hope for the future.
