What is the legacy of trauma to future generations? Recent epigenetics research reveals that even the DNA of children, grandchildren and beyond are affected by severe trauma in generations before them. And so, the killings of 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, the genocide in Rwanda, the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the falling of the Twin Towers in New York; we continue to be affected by them. Elizabeth Rosner's parents, who lived through the Holocaust and came to the U.S., then eventually raised three children, left their imprint on her and her siblings and even generations beyond. Her compelling book, Survivor Cafe, tells both the parts of her family's story she is able to capture and also struggles with the subject of how our culture can begin to heal from these traumas. Join us as we explore what she has learned!
