- Abstract
The article "Mediation and Memory. On the Biographical and Intergenerational Transmission of the Untold" by Maria Pohn-Lauggas deals with the transmission of family history, especially when the family is affected by collective historical experiences of violence. The author demonstrates, based on empirical findings on the intergenerational transmission of the experience of persecution during National Socialism, that tabooed and marginalized knowledge about past experiences is transmitted through non-verbal interactions and biographical action structures, shaping family structures that reflect past experiences. The article focuses on the intergenerational transmission of social shame in families whose members were persecuted as "asocial" and "professional criminals" during National Socialism. Using case studies, it is shown that both the verbal and non-verbal transmission of this shame and traumatic experiences continue to shape intergenerational relationships in these families to this day.
