This essay tackles the issue of working with Holocaust survivors' offspring during the pandemic. It raises the following questions: What happens when children whose Holocaust-survivor parents have undergone victimization, actual abuse and humiliation, come face-to-face themselves with current traumatic reality in the form of the coronavirus pandemic? What is the impact of this external reality on their psychic life, their perception of reality and their defences? And what changes of technique may be needed in their analyses during this period? To answer these questions, I will use some clinical vignettes from my work with two Holocaust survivors' offspring during the pandemic.
