Abstract

The author discusses the question of what happens when generations in a family cannot talk to one another about what was most important for their lives. Those who experienced Nazi persecution, the loss of their family and the destruction of their community have since then been preoccupied by these events. But, at the same time, because of the intensity of the trauma, they have not been able to talk about this period of their lives. Most of their experience can not be turned into a story for the grandchildren who must be protected from knowing about the pain and absolute despair, the complete absence of meaning of the individual and collective suffering. How are these experiences represented in the family
communication? How does the older generation hand down the traditions to the younger generation? In the article the author analyses the three-generation
interviews she conducted in three different Jewish communities, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Frankfurt/Main while attempting to understand the phenomena of transmission.
