Through their Daughters' Eyes: Jewish Mothers and Daughters: A Legacy From the Holocaust
Abstract
The author examined the narratives and stories of thirteen daughters of Jewish women Holocaust survivors. The results of her study indicates that Holocaust survivor mothers were conceptualized by their daughters as being either strong, challenged or both. Participants described the lessons they learned from their mothers' survivor narratives and stories in terms of strength, resilience, transcendency and Jewish identity. Participants considered these lessons to be vital aspects of their own lives and strategies for living.
