Observations on families of Shoah survivors with a multi-system and trans-generational syndrome

The millions of deaths within the concentration camps were due either to the direct killings, diseases,
freezing or starvation. It is unrealistic to expect that the memory of Survivors would fade, that the experience will remain with similar morbidity compared to the rest of the population and that the successive
generations would be spared from any emotional or organic consequences.
The Syndrome resulting from the Shoah is presented in acute and chronic phases, dealing with psychology,
metabolic (glucose, lipid, cardiac, bone mineral) symptoms and findings, all described in details previously
by Fund et al. It is now the necessity to draw attention to the inheritance in future generations. Family examples of each system of disease are tabulated for interpretation of practitioners caring for the few remaining survivors and also their descendants within two successive generations.
