Judith Kestenberg; Psychoanalyst of Holocaust Survivors

Judith Kestenberg, 88, a psychoanalyst who studied and counseled survivors of the Holocaust. Kestenberg, a native of Poland, launched the International Study of Organized Persecution of Children. She led a team of several dozen volunteer researchers in Europe and America that conducted the first systematic survey of child survivors of the Holocaust. In 1986 she reported some initial findings that child survivors in the United States have stronger feelings of alienation than those who remained in their native countries. In all, she and her associates collected 1,500 taped interviews of survivors and their offspring around the world. She was fluent in French, German and Polish and was the author of two books for German children about the Holocaust. She was married to Milton Kestenberg, a lawyer who helped her start the study of Holocaust survivors and who sued in German courts to garner compensation for Holocaust victims.

Eugene S. Pulliam; Newspaper Publisher, Quayle’s Uncle

Eugene S. Pulliam, 84, publisher of the Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis News. Pulliam was known as a vigorous defender of press freedom during a 64-year career in the newspaper business. He assumed the publisher’s mantle when his father, Eugene C. Pulliam, died in 1975. The Star earned a Pulitzer Prize that year for an investigation of police corruption and another in 1991 for a series on medical malpractice. In the early 1950s, the younger Pulliam was a sharp critic of the smear tactics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and served on the special panel of the American Society of Newspaper Editors that probed McCarthy’s attack on New York Post Editor James Wechsler. Pulliam concluded that McCarthy’s tactics were “not only a threat to the freedom of the press, but also a peril to America.” He also could be critical of the media, especially when he believed that it unfairly assailed Dan Quayle, his nephew. Defending the then-vice presidential candidate, Pulliam commended Quayle for refusing to be “upset by unfair and inaccurate reporting.” Active in professional news organizations, Pulliam was a past president of the American Newspaper Publishers Assn. Foundation and a member of the Associated Press Managing Editors board. On Wednesday in Indianapolis.
