This paper is a report of in-depth research interviews with Belarusian Holocaust survivors still residing in Belarus sixty years following the end of World War II on Belarusian soil, or the war that Belarusians call “The Great Patriotic War”. Forty-six subjects were interviewed for the project and eleven of these also took a Russian translated version of the Impact of Events Scale (IES-R), an objective measure of posttraumatic stress responses, which has been used the world over in posttraumatic stress research (Weiss & Marmar, 1995; Tarabrina, et al, 1993).
