| Title |
Long-Term Effects of the Holocaust on Selected Social Attitudes and Behaviors of Survivors: A Cautionary Note
|
| Abstract |
The authors compare a random sample of Jewish survivors of the Holocaust living in Montreal with two Jewish control groups. Modest or insignificant differences were found on measures of perceived anti-Semitism, economic and political satisfaction, social segregation, economic achievement, and propensity to migrate from Quebec. The authors caution against overgeneralization of a clinical construct, the survivor syndrome, and point to the need for further research into the remarkable capacities of human beings to overcome the most severe forms of victimization.
