As the Holocaust recedes from us in time, the guardianship of its
legacy is being passed on from its survivors and witnesses to the
generation after. How should we, in turn, convey its knowledge to
others? What are the effects of a traumatic past on its inheritors,
and the second generation's responsibilities to its received
memories? Eva Hoffman probes these questions through personal
reflections and through broader explorations of the historical,
psychological and moral implications of the second-generation
experience. She examines the subterranean processes through which
private memories of suffering are transmitted, and the more wilful
stratagems of collective memory. As she guides us through the
poignant juncture at which living memory must be relinquished, she
asks what insights can be carried from the past, and urges the need
to transform potent family stories into a fully-informed
understanding of a forbidding history.
