Most of its members were born between 19, in North or South America, Europe, or Israel.Īlthough members’ individual experiences are, the common denominator, the secret handshake of this society, is a childhood obsession with the Holocaust by youths unrelated to Holocaust survivors, who never heard it discussed, who never saw a Holocaust movie until after their dreams, flashbacks, or phobias were already haunting their young lives.
The qualifications for membership are Holocaust-related recurring dreams, panic attacks, fearsome flashbacks, or phobias of trains, showers, or uniformed men. The Secret Society is so recondite that most of its members are unaware that they belong.
