Understanding the Intergenerational Trauma of Jews

To my non-Jewish friends and colleagues; I wanted to explain the extreme trauma Jewish people (especially those of European extraction) are experiencing after the attacks in Israel
Sadly, horrible things happen in the world all of the time, but it is important to understand the intergenerational trauma experienced by the Jewish community
My generation grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about the Holocaust from our grandparents;
Who grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about massacres of Jews during centuries of pogroms;
Who grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about massacres of Jews during Khmelnytsky’s Uprising;
Who grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about the Spanish Inquisition;
Who grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about massacres of Jews during the Black Death;
Who grew up hearing the horrific personal stories about massacres of Jews during EACH of the Crusades.
Many of us hoped and prayed, that we are living in more modern times, and YET, my daughter will raise her future children and grandchildren telling stories about the massacre of Jews in 2023.
