摘要

在大屠杀之后,许多大屠杀幸存者选择以在大屠杀中丧生的亲属或个人的名字为他们的一个或多个孩子命名。虽然这一做法通常是为了纪念,但一些大屠杀幸存者的子女报告说,取一个经常让人想起大屠杀悲惨遗产的名字,使他们感到情绪困扰。目的了解大屠杀受害者姓名归因在CHS群体中的流行程度,并探讨其与家族史、心理健康和修复性应对机制的关系。材料与方法通过社交网络和犹太组织招募schs参与于2021年6月1日至9月1日进行的在线调查。列入标准要求父母中至少有一方曾在1933年至1945年期间的任何时候居住在或被迫离开被纳粹政权占领或直接受其影响的国家之一。这项在线调查收集了社会人口统计数据、战争期间家庭经历的细节、精神健康史以及与创伤和损失有关的应对策略的信息。结果共614例CHS患者参与研究,平均年龄65.8±8.4岁,其中男性30.8%,女性69.2%。以HV名字命名的CHS患病率为46.6%,其中286人以大屠杀受害者(HV)的名字命名。名字为HV的CHS通常年龄较大(平均年龄70.0岁对64.8岁,p≤0.05),祖父母更有可能是大屠杀受害者(57.4%对64.8岁)。28.2%, p≤0.05),更有可能是集中营幸存者的孩子(54.9%比41.8%,p≤0.05)。他们也更有可能以大屠杀受害者的名字给自己的孩子命名(38.8% vs. 17.1%, p≤0.05)。有趣的是,在CHS中,没有发现hiv名字与焦虑、抑郁或创伤后应激障碍的历史有显著关联。然而,名字为HV的CHS更有可能表示有责任“取代”被谋杀的家庭成员(46.5%对27.4%,p≤0.05),并表示有责任弥补家庭的损失(60%对41.2%,p≤0.05)。他们还注意到,他们的父母更有可能公开表达他们对他们的意义(48.7% vs 38.8%, p≤0.05)。这项研究首次揭示了近一半的CHS是以大屠杀受害者的名字命名的。虽然没有直接的心理障碍与这种命名行为有关,但研究强调了被视为逝者的象征性替代品所带来的情感负担。这种责任感和历史记忆的重量可以为CHS创造一种独特的情感压力,即使在没有明显的精神健康状况的情况下。

Consequences of giving the first name of a Holocaust victim to children of Holocaust survivors

Introduction

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, many Holocaust survivors (HS) chose to name one or more of their children after relatives or individuals who perished during the Shoah. While this practice was often intended as an act of remembrance, some children of Holocaust survivors (CHS) have reported emotional distress linked to carrying a name that constantly evokes the tragic legacy of the Holocaust.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of Holocaust victim (HV) name attribution among CHS and to explore its associations with family history, psychological health, and reparative coping mechanisms.

Materials and Methods

CHS were recruited through social networks and Jewish organizations to participate in an online survey conducted from June 1 to September 1, 2021. The inclusion criteria required that at least one parent had lived in, or was forced to leave, one of the countries occupied by or under the direct influence of the Nazi regime at any time between 1933 and 1945.. The online survey collected socio-demographic data, details on family experiences during the war, mental health history, and information regarding coping strategies related to trauma and loss.

Results

A total of 614 CHS participated in the study, with a mean age of 65.8 ± 8.4 years, of whom 30.8 % were men and 69.2 % were women. The prevalence of CHS with a HV first name was 46.6 %, with 286 individuals bearing the first name of a Holocaust Victim (HV). CHS with a HV first name were generally older (mean age 70.0 vs. 64.8 years, p ≤ 0.05), more likely to have grandparents who were Holocaust victims (57.4 %vs. 28.2 %, p ≤ 0.05), and more likely to be children of concentration camp survivors (54.9 % vs. 41.8 %, p ≤ 0.05). They were also significantly more likely to name their own children after a Holocaust victim (38.8 % vs. 17.1 %, p ≤ 0.05). Interestingly, no significant associations were found between a HV first name among CHS and a history of anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder. However, CHS with a HV first name were more likely to report feeling a responsibility to "replace" the murdered family members (46.5 % vs 27.4 %, p ≤ 0.05) and expressed a deep sense of obligation to make up for the family's loss(60 % vs 41.2 %, p ≤ 0.05).They also noted that their parents were more likely to openly express how much they meant to them(48.7 % vs38.8 %, p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion

This study is the first to reveal that nearly half of CHS were named after a Holocaust victim. While no direct psychological disorders were associated with this naming practice, the study highlighted the emotional burden linked to being perceived as a symbolic replacement for those who perished. This sense of obligation and the weight of historical memory can create a unique emotional strain for CHS, even in the absence of overt mental health conditions.
