In recent years, the experience of the so-called second generation has come under increasing scholarly scrutiny. What does it mean to be the child of parents who were persecuted and often singled out for extermination? In this round-table discussion, children of Holocaust survivors talk about their experience with transgenerational trauma. Tal Golan (Israel), Judi Gottschalk (USA), and Gershon Shafir (Israel) explore their personal experience as second-generation survivors and offer insight into their views on how the Holocaust has affected them and their family.
