What form does the dialogue about the family during the Nazi period
take in the families of those persecuted by the Nazi regime and of
Nazi perpertrators and accomplices? What impact does the past of
the first generation, and their own way of dealing with it, have on
the lives of their descendants? What are the structural differences
between the dialogue about the Holocaust in families of
perpetrators and those of the victims? This text examines these
questions on the basis of selected case studies. It presents five
families of survivors from Germany and Israel whose experiences of
persecution and family histories after the liberation differ
greatly. Two case studies of non-Jewish German families whose
grandparents' generation are suspected of having perpretrated Nazi
crimes illustrate the mechanisms operating in these families -
those of passing the guilt on to the victims and creating the myth
of being victims themselves - and give a sense of the psychological
consequences these mechanisms have for the generations of their
children and grandchildren.
