The present study aims to investigate the relationship between the concentration camps experience and Holocaust survivors’ dreams during and after their imprisonment. It is an interdisciplinary approach, which brings together history with philosophy and psychology, trying to identify how dreaming in Holocaust survivors was affected by traumatic events. Twenty-two Holocaust survivors from Northern Transylvania were interviewed during the years 2006–2009. Their memory of past events was investigated both through their post-Holocaust discourse, as well as through the dreams described by the survivors in the interviews conducted by the author of the proposed study.
