The Mishna presents a list of statements about which an adult can testify based on what he witnessed as a child.
For example, a person can say that he recognizes the signature of his father, his teacher or his brother.
He is also believed to attest to the fact that someone would leave school to immerse in the mikveh so that he could eat teruma that is permitted only to a kohen, or that he received teruma that was distributed at the granary.
We explore the reverse , the testimony of minors, then the concept of false memories and the science behind eyewitness testimony and memory biases.
In light of the above, how do we represent trauma and memory, and their influence on history and testimony specifically in relation to the Shoah.
