Abstract
The problems of rehabilitating traumatized refugee children are considered in the light of Swedish experience in aiding victims of the Holocaust of the Second World War. An active rehabilitation programme, taking into account changes in family relationships, is needed. It is important to break the silence of repression, but also to understand the variable degree of resilience of survivors of trauma.Keywords
