The Holocaust remains an integral and inseparable part of the lives of both the child survivors and second-generation survivors in most cases. The aim of this study is to compare the life experiences of two people: Ilan Haran, a child survivor and a second-generation survivor named Orna Grinberg. It is an attempt to discover the parallels and differences in how the Holocaust became a part of their lives (or not); how they acquired their parents’ memories; how they coped with the pain; and how their parents’ status as Holocaust survivors affected their lives and personalities. The questions asked during both the interviews were almost similar in nature and the aim of this paper is to find out similarities and dissimilarities between the experiences of a child survivor and a second-generation Holocaust survivor. The research will also look at the numerous elements that influence the intergenerational transfer of the Holocaust memory. The findings of the paper will be supported by the existing relevant studies in this field. The obligatory transmission of memory, which Elie Wiesel refers as ‘supreme duty towards memory’ seems to be what the two interviewees desire to do as they want to continue telling the story of their parents and see it as their duty. The two interviews have supported several existing studies and at the same time, some findings were different than the established theories.
