Genia spent two years in Auschwitz, Ze'ev fought with the Partisans, Olga hid in Warsaw, Anya fled to Russia, and Laura lived in Libya under fascism. All five survived the Holocaust, emigrated to Israel, and started families. The focus is on how their traumatic experiences have been transmitted and transformed across generations. Family members from survivors to grandchildren share their narratives, revealing diverse approaches to confronting the original trauma. Dan Bar-On's analysis identifies key themes: reconstruction of major life events, untold stories, and the dynamics of memory and forgetfulness. These narratives explore the intergenerational impacts of the Holocaust, highlighting the tension between renewal in the present and preservation of the past. The third generation often acts as a healing force, facilitating communication between parents and grandparents through their questions. The second generation, often seen as passive recipients of trauma, plays a complex role in navigating family dynamics. This account extends beyond the Holocaust, offering insights into the interplay of individual biography with broader social processes. It provides a fresh perspective on transgenerational trauma and hope for families engaged in the challenging process of healing.
