Whatever their parents' best intentions, unspeakable trauma rarely evaporates. More often than not, it transmits to the next generation, sooner or later rising to the surface and revealing itself as a psychological stain.

Introduction
The Holocaust casts a long shadow over 20th-century history, and the children of Jewish refugees often experience a lack of information or total silence from their parents on the subject.
Despite this silence, second-generation survivors inherit the psychological trauma of this horrifying chapter of European history.
This 2008 BBC documentary profiles several second-generation Jewish refugees living in contemporary Britain.
They examine their memories of their parents, what they were told (or not) about their Jewish heritage, and how this legacy affects their lives.
These personal stories are intercut with archival footage from wartime Germany and the concentration camps.
