Abstract
Research was conducted at two Jewish schools founded in Budapest in 1989, using the method of narrative biographical interviews and hermeneutic case analysis. Many children of mixed marriages or non-Jewish families attend these schools. Using the case analysis of a family in which the father is from a Jewish survivor family and the mother has an anti-Semitic background, the mixed marriage pattern “interchanged identities” is examined. The couple tried to rid themselves of their families' pasts, the husband by refusing his Jewishness and the wife by defying her anti-Semitic father and her identification with him. The unconscious mechanisms, shame, and guilty feelings lying behind their efforts are discussed.
