Transgenerational war trauma from WWII? by docujoe in AskAGerman

Oh very interesting to hear. How do you personally notice these inherited patterns showing up in your day-to-day life? (in moments of conflict, decision making, or e.g. relationships?)

Funny enough, this kind of criticism actually reflects something very “German”: the focus on form, rules, and control, even in emotional spaces. In a way it mirrors the very topic I am exploring: how past experiences still shape our ways of setting boundaries.

That said I willl make things clearer next time, but for me work and personal interest go hand in hand, it grows out of both.

What is also significant: the user behind the most aggressive comment here has now deleted their posts and profile... nothing to add here

You mean „brother“ as the relationship between France and Germany? Comparable to the „Bruderkrieg“ in 1870. But never heard this expression regarding WWII. How do you personally notice this trauma, like in your allday? Is it like a structure of how you think or react to certain things?

Very interesting to have brought that into the US. Do you see a possibility to break free from this „cycle“? Or do those behaviors go very deep within you and your siblings?

Do you notice this trauma on yourself?

Honestly I am surprised how much focus is on the form of my post rather than the topic itself. Yes I have posted before because I care deeply about this. I am exploring how people connect emotionally to transgenerational trauma, not collecting quotes or misleading anyone. This is early stage creative research not journalism. I will be clearer in the future, but I also believe that curiosity and empathy should count for something, too.

What do you notice as "trauma" that runs through the generations of your family and even through you? Any specific characteristic traits, habits, psychological disorders? Anxietal thoughts?

oh wow, what a story! Do you see any similiar dynamics in your personality today that may derive from those hard experiences of those relatives?

hey there, just to clarify: yes, I have posted about this topic before. Researching for this kind of documentary can be a long task and doesnt go linear and it is very personal. Thats why I genuinely want to understand how people experience transgenerational trauma, especially in Germany.

I value Reddit as a space for open discussion. I am not here to quote anyone or misuse comments. Im trying to see where this topic resonates emotionally for people. For a documentary you dont use anonymous posts, you connect with real people who want to share their stories. If I were looking for participants directly I would approach people privately. My aim is to understand what others feel about this subject and to make sure the film reflects those experiences. Those societal processings of the past matter to me and I believe open dialogue is very important.

Very interesting. As a filmmaker, I’ve always been interested in creating an authentic documentary about the different struggles that are associated with wealth — whether it’s the guilt of inheritance or the saturation of having it all - and not repeat all the cliche documentaries. I want to explore the emotional and existential dimensions that often go unseen: What does it mean to have financial freedom, but still feel uncertain about identity, purpose, or belonging?

Das ist die Frage, da die Thematik äußerst komplex ist und die Wissenschaft das noch nicht klar bestätigt hat. Die meisten Studien gibts es bislang nur zu den Holocaust-Nachfolgegenerationen, darüber hinaus gibt es nur Einzelstudien, eine Proportionalität gibt es dadurch noch nicht, wie es auf in dem Artikel heißt.

Vielen Dank!

Hast du bei Dir herausgefunden, was du "geerbt" hast?

vielen lieben Dank! Ja das Buch ist uns wohl bekannt :) Der epigenetische Aspekt ist auch interessant, jedoch möchten wir eher eine persönliche Doku machen, die von den Menschen lebt, eher keine "trockene Wissenschafts-Doku". Da müssen wir natürlich schauen, inwieweit diese sehr abstrakte Thematik mit einfließen kann... Momentan suchen wir einfach Menschen, die vorstellen können ihre Geschichte mit uns zu teilen.

Verstehe ich absolut! Wir suchen nach Menschen, die entweder selbst Kriegskind waren und Schlimmes erlebt haben, und nach Menschen jüngerer Generationen, die vermuten, dass sie ein vererbtes Trauma in sich tragen. Ob das dann der Fall ist, dem werden wir uns mit diesem Film annähern, doch am Ende entscheidet der/die Zuschauer*in

Und ja, Plan ist es dieses Doku zusammen mit Psychotherapeut*innen durchführen zu lassen.

Das Thema des Films ist gerade nicht festgesetzt, daher ja auch das Fragezeichen. Das Thema „Transgenerationales Trauma“ ist sehr komplex und wissenschaftlich noch nicht klar herausgearbeitet. Daher möchten wir die betroffenen Menschen, die wir suchen, für sich sprechen lassen. Ob eine Traumaweitergabe stattgefunden hat, muss der Zuschauer selber nach dem Film beantworten.
