This article engages with the controversial issue of a hierarchy of suffering in Holocaust survivor associations. It explores personal narratives of survivors to reveal how a hierarchy manifests in these groups and the impact it has on survivor individuals. A sense of belonging is continually affected by a hierarchical framework, based on a mutable definition of survivorship. The article, informed by the concepts of composure and discomposure, key issues in oral history theory, will argue that composure for some comes at the cost of discomposure to others whilst presenting age, nationality and experience as key markers of difference and comparison
