Five StarsBy Ben ElishaIt has been an eye opening understanding of what my parents were going through but unable to verbalise0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. You would be much better off looking at more recent studies on psychological effects ...By Maura S FinlayAs a Holocaust researcher working on a MA I have to say I find this book utterly appalling. Way to stereotype every single 2nd and 3rd generation Holocaust as being psychologically damaged somehow. You would be much better off looking at more recent studies on psychological effects which disprove a lot she as written. I can honestly say reading this book has made me depressed and it was a drudge to read.
