Abstract
The institution of slavery in the United States was a barbaric system. Without doubt, it was an institution that had its element of physical and psychological abuse and degradation. In many respects, however, it cannot be compared to the Jewish Holocaust under the Nazis. Indeed, the enormity of the Holocaust is so great that it is difficult to categorise it with other cases of mass killing or systems of oppression. This is in no way to minimise the barbarity of American slavery, but the Holocaust was, after all, the only case in history where there was the attempted destruction of an entire group of people.

Abstract
The extreme stress of traumatic events causes human beings to react in either a positive or negative manner. Coping becomes especially difficult in situations where the individual is incapable of solving the problem at hand. While some coping skills work better than others and some people possess qualities that enable them to deal more effectively with stress, surviving an ordeal that destroys a belief in human goodness or a sense of security remains with an individual ever afterward. This paper examines the causes of, symptoms of, and reactions to extreme stress. Also presented are the prolonged effects of stress on Vietnam combat veterans, Holocaust survivors, and people who work with trauma victims.

Sara Tuvel Bernstein's memoir, "The Seamstress: A Memoir of Survival", is one of the most memorable of first-person accounts of survival during the Holocaust.

Published posthumously, Bernstein's work evolved literally thread by thread as she worked in her sewing room, methodically recording her tale of survival during the Holocaust.
