Generational fault lines stemming from Jewish children who were hidden during the Second World War - 2020.

This article attempts to understand how the experience of being a Jewish child hidden in France during the Occupation is transmitted between generations. After reflecting on the unique experience of these Jewish children, we analyze a clinical research case in order to reveal the specific processes at work in transmission. First, we identify a painful experience that is accompanied by a contradictory transmission of life drives and thoughts about death. Second, we consider the fact that hidden Jewish children represent a very specific generation with a unique experience. The discussion is structured around several different issues including filiation, the transmission of a crypt and a complex transgenerational heritage, and the constraints on transformation and narration.
