This study examines the struggle of the children of Holocaust survivors and sometimes their children to cope with the painful legacy of the Holocaust. Dina Wardi shows how, through individual and group therapy, they are able to achieve self-integration. Wardi also gives particular attention to identity disturbances common among second-generation Holocaust survivors such as their preoccupation with death, and problems with self-esteem and sexual identity.
