Second generation voices
"Heirs to the Legacy of Auschwitz, the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors and perpetrators have always been thought of as separated by fear and anger, mistrust and shame. This book provides a forum for expression in which each group reflects candidly upon the consuming burdens and challenges it has inherited.". "To be sure, there is disagreement among the groups about the need for - or wisdom of - dialogue. Yet Second Generation Voices engenders authentic grounds for discussion. Issues such as guilt, anger, religious faith, and accountability are explored in deeply felt memories, narratives, and poems. Jew and German alike speak openly of forming and affirming their own identities and working through the psychological effects of intergenerational transmission of trauma."--BOOK JACKET.
