Impact of Nazi holocaust on children of survivors. 1978

R E Phillips

Case reports of children of Nazi holocaust survivors are sparse in psychiatric literature despite a relative abundance of material on the "survivor syndrome." The case presented here illustrates that the long-range effects of the holocaust include intrapsychic, familial, and cultureal pathogenic factors that may influence the psychologic development of the offspring of survivors.
