Know about the book -

The Holocaust in Three Generations is written by Gabriele Rosenthal and published by A&C Black. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0304339911 (ISBN 10) and 9780304339914 (ISBN 13).

Through lengthy interviews and observation of family relationships, this book investigates how the histories of those involved in the Holocaust (as both victims and perpetrators) impact, socially and psychologically, on the lives of the second and third generation. Five case studies of survivors' families from Germany and Israel present different experiences of persecution, and demonstrate to what extent the past defines post-War family dynamics. Two case studies of non-Jewish German families where the grandparents' generation are suspected of having perpetrated Nazi crimes show how guilt, and the myth of themselves being victims, are pressed on to the succeeding generations.
