This paper addresses the trauma transfer from survivors of the Shoah to the Second Generation in Germany. What does it mean for both generations to beget children after Auschwitz? This necessarily entails perceiving non-Jewish Germans and their way of dealing with history. Survivors cannot live without their memory, nor is it possible for them to conceive of a life unencumbered by this constant "contaminant". It is not possible to integrate the persecution experiences. On the contrary, decades after liberation, dissociated elements of traumatic memories penetrate everyday experiences, thought, affect and imagination as contaminants. Occasionally, these fragments of persecution experiences, like "encapsulated memories" hidden in crypts suddenly break open and frighten the survivors themselves and even more so the people around them.
本文探讨了大屠杀幸存者向德国第二代的创伤传递。在奥斯维辛之后生育子女对两代人意味着什么？这必然需要审视非犹太裔德国人以及他们对待历史的方式。幸存者无法没有他们的记忆而生活，他们也无法设想一种不受这种持续“污染物”影响的生活。迫害经历是无法融入的。相反，在解放数十年后，创伤记忆中解离的元素作为污染物渗透到日常经历、思想、情感和想象中。偶尔，这些迫害经历的片段，就像隐藏在墓穴中的“封存记忆”突然爆发，不仅吓坏了幸存者自己，更吓坏了他们周围的人。
