The authors, already long involved in the study of the psychology of the victims of the Holocaust and of their children, conducted an attitude survey among two hundred eleven Israeli children and ninety-seven Jewish-American children, all aged thirteen to fourteen. Some children in each sample were children of Holocaust survivors. The children were asked to express their feelings about Germans in general and about a hypothetical German agemate. The most striking finding in this study was the difference in response between the Israeli children of Holocaust survivors and their American counterparts. The Israeli children (living in a country where feelings about the Holocaust are openly and frequently expressed) responded with direct expressions of hostility. The American children showed massive denial of feelings. The authors postulate that these latter children are continuing the suppression of aggression so commonly found in their parents, the survivors, which has been associated with frequent depressive states.
