Part 2 of the World War II Panel

Friday, June 18th, 2010


On December 5, 1996, four World-War II combat veterans who are also psychoanalysts at the New York Psychoanalytic Institute got together for a very special Veteran’s Day presentation. Each of the four shared stories of their actual combat experience on the front lines during Worls War II. In these insightful memoirs, many personal, heroic, and painful memories were shared with the audience, and a fascinating and engaging Q & A session followed the program. The four analysts involved were M.Donald Coleman (also moderator), Howard Schlossman, Murray Nadelman, and Eugene Kaplan. This program captures some truly historic memories and is quite moving.
