Summary/Abstract: The author describes ending her 25 years long therapeutic work with the Holocaust Survivors. In doing so she wonders what sort of processes made it possible to work through mourning connected with the conclusion of the programme and the death of the Survivors. In addition, she proposes a hypothesis maintaining that social processes associated with the pandemic and the climate catastrophe brought the reality of death and the procedure of coming to terms with it closer. The text ends with a reflection concerning the memory of the Holocaust after the death of its last witnesses.
