On the basis of published data and a questionnaire it was noted that only a few children of the survivors of the holocaust have been analyzed. The author speculates that the analyst's resistance to uncovering the horror combines with that of the survivors and their children to explain the infrequency of analysis. Dr. Kestenberg presents clinical material from one of the few cases accepted for analysis. It was found that the analyst shared in the 'conspiracy of silence' of the child and the survivor-parents, and the author suggests this may be common. She suggests, too, that this concealed knowledge should be dealt with directly She suggests, too, that this concealed knowledge should be dealt with directly with the child and the parents as a special parameter to be used in the analysis of children of survivors of the holocaust. Dr. Kestenberg cites the various ways in which the traumata of the survivor-parents are passed on to the next generation. She urges a special effort to collect more data on this group of patients whose disabilities (and their genesis) appear to have been relatively neglected.
