The Third Generation

80 years after the Holocaust, the exhibition “The Third Generation. The Holocaust in Family Memory” deals with the issue of transgenerational trauma and the emotional legacy of the survivors. They have passed on their stories, as well as their traumata, to their children and grandchildren.
While the second generation grew up with the immediate impact of their parents’ physical and psychological injuries, the third generation’s view of family histories, in which memories and silence, family myths and family secrets, overwhelming or missing family legacies are ever-present, is from a greater distance time-wise.
