Based on decades of efforts to recognize the multigenerational legacies of the Shoah, the symposium will shed light on the long-term consequences of persecution, war and genocide with experts from research and practice. We are touched by the past through our own (family) biographical entanglements and through our solidarity and empathy towards suvivors of mass violence: how do people who survived severe human rights violations and genocide continue to live and how do their experiences affect subsequent generations? What insights shape our view of transgenerational trauma after collective violence today? How do we view transgenerational consequences from psychological, social science, or artistic perspectives? What new insights can we gain through transnational perspectives, and what are the limitations?
