    Long ago, i wanted to watch the movie with my girlfriend. She didn't want to but didn't really explain why. So i insisted cause it's hands down my favorite movie and i really wanted her to see it with me. She finally accepted, but after a moment, she started crying. I instantly stopped TV and felt so bad and guilty. It was a deep deep pain that i couldn't really understand, i had never seen her like that. Then she explained me why it moved her so much : all her family but her grand mother was killed in Auschwitz. After that, she showed me their names on a memorial in Paris, then started crying again in front of it. This pain is like written in her DNA. The next day we went to her grand mother's house, a small old and skinny woman : i had never been that impressed by anyone in my entire life. From that moment, i had nothing but respect and admiration for this woman.

      Every descendant of the Holocaust feels this on some level. Its a scar every single one of us feels through the generations.
      Its one thing to be moved by the Holocaust. Its another to know that this atrocity was aimed at your own people, but to know that your very family were victims is something else entirely. Many of us who descend from Shoah survivors feel residual pain because of this.
      I believe I can speak for many like me when I say we feel a sense of responsibility to make the most of the gift of life, in honor of our ancestors who were never given the same opportunity.
      For us, the Holocaust is a fact of life. We grew up knowing what 'concentration camp' was before our friends heard about it in schools. As the rest of our peers gasp in horror, we simply sigh in remembrance.
      For some, it is a proud thing to be related to a survivor. It means that our very existence serves as a reminder that the monsters who tried to erase all of us failed.
      For others, it is a quiet pain that they choose to keep to themselves as the knowledge of what their family went through is something that, for one reason or another, they find too painful to think about.
      This is likely why she couldn't bear to watch and broke down so badly.
      She feels the pain

      My dad was with 82nd in WWII. His troop liberated one of the death camps, Wobbelin. His fellow soldier, brother in arms, was Brooklyn Jewish, one generation removed from Europe. I wept hysterically when I first heard this piece and everytime since. I was born long after the war and my father never spoke to anyone but his fellow soldiers about the war. I only learned years after my father died when I spoke to one of his fellow troopers that “liberated” this camp with him. I now understand why I react so strongly. We carry the genes of memory and trauma in our core.

    When Steven Spielberg showed legendary composer John Williams an early cut of Schindler's List (1993), Williams said to Spielberg, "You need a better composer than I am for this film." Spielberg responded, "I know. But they're all dead."
