A Generation Apart

A Generation Apart is a 1983 American documentary. The film explores the relationships between Holocaust survivors and their children in the modern world. Most of the movie focuses on one family where the survivors raised three sons in the Bronx. They talk about how their experiences affected them, often leading them to be over-protective and to withhold affection from their children. Others interviewed say that they put too high of expectations on their children in a hope for a better future. The children are all given a chance to respond to their parents.
