THE LEGACY WE INHERIT

Understanding Intergenerational Trauma and Resilience Across Generations

The topic explores the intergenerational transmission of the legacy of the Holocaust – the trauma, the resilience, the intense longing for what was missed and those lost. It connects with the L’dor V’dor concept of scientific research on how the Holocaust legacy may pass to 2G and 3G descendants. We’ll examine ‘post-memory’ – a connection to a past not personally lived through – and discuss findings on inherited extreme stress effects.
