Experience of Genocide

From Science Daily, a recent article titles:
"Experience of Genocide as Transmitted Trauma May Not Be Universal"

 "In her interviews with Jewish-Israeli children of Holocaust survivors and Cambodian-Canadians whose parents were persecuted at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, Carol Kidron found that virtually all subjects rejected the pathologizing construct of transmitted PTSD."

Based on a study published in Current Anthropology:
Kidron, Carol A. Alterity and the Particular Limits of Universalism: Comparing Jewish-Israeli Holocaust and Canadian-Cambodian Genocide Legacies. Current Anthropology, 2012

There is a rejection of being framed as victims and having been psycho-socially impacted by these genocides. The cultural framing may be different, as the author points out, but it also may be cultural reactions to a researcher investigating the effects of genocide. So there is a resistance to being pathologized. But in truth, I should read the article before making any critiques, assessments, implications of the study. Interesting nonetheless.
