Summary:A nonclinical second-generation Holocaust survivor group of young adults is contrasted with a comparable North American Jewish control group. A discriminate analysis of questionnaire responses indicates specific differences between the functioning second generation (N = 68) and the control group (N = 51). Focus was on growth-producing rather than pathogenic factors. Sample characteristics, interview data, techniques of data analyses and results are presented and discussed; some literature and work in progress is noted. Recommendations regarding further research efforts are made.
