Most children of Holocaust survivors felt the omnipresence of the Holocaust throughout their childhood and, for many, the echoes of the Holocaust continue to loom large through the phenomenon of “intergenerational” trauma.
In a series of vivid, emotional – and sometimes gut-wrenching – stories, Emily Wanderer Cohen connects the dots between her behaviors and choices and her mother’s Holocaust experiences. She illustrates how the Holocaust continues to have an impact on current and future generations, and with prompts at the end of each chapter, you can explore your own intergenerational trauma and begin your healing journey.
Part memoir and part self-discovery, if you’re a second-generation (2G) or third-generation (3G) Holocaust survivor – or if you’re experiencing intergenerational trauma of any kind – and you’re ready to heal, you need to read this book.
