Description: In the grim
litany of twentieth-century genocides, few events cut a broader and more
lasting swath through humanity than the Holocaust. How then would the offspring
of Nazis and survivors react to the idea of reestablishing a relationship?
Could they talk to each other without open hostility? Could they even attempt
to imagine the experiences and outlook of the other? Would they be willing to
abandon their self-definition as aggrieved victims as a means of moving
forward?
Central to the
perspectives of each group, Weissmark found, were stories, searing anecdotes
passed from parent to grandchild, from aunt to nephew, which personalized with
singular intensity the experience. She describes how these stories or
"legacies" transmit moral values, beliefs and emotions and thus
freeze the past into place. For instance, cdxfmerged that most children of
Nazis reported their parents told them stories about the war whereas children
of survivors reported their parents told them stories about the Holocaust.
