Morfaren blev traumatiseret af krigen, og Jacksons essay udforsker konsekvenserne af, at morfarens traume er blevet givet videre i flere generationer. Konsekvenserne viser sig i det problematiske i at erindre, men også som en generationel skyld over morfarens handling. Denne skyld er fortsat til stede hos børn og børne…
