Genetic changes stemming from the trauma suffered by Holocaust survivors are capable of being passed on to their children, the clearest sign yet that one person’s life experience can affect subsequent generations.
The conclusion from a research team at New York’s Mount Sinai hospital led by Rachel Yehuda stems from the genetic study of 32 Jewish men and women who had either been interned in a Nazi concentration camp, witnessed or experienced torture or who had had to hide during the second world war.
They also analysed the genes of their children, who are known to have increased likelihood of stress disorders, and compared the results with Jewish families who were living outside of Europe during the war. “The gene changes in the children could only be attributed to Holocaust exposure in the parents,” said Yehuda.

NASA begins year-long 'Mars isolation' experiment
Six people began a year of isolation inside a dome in Hawaii on Friday to help NASA prepare for a human mission to Mars. They will live in a dome just 36 feet (11 meters) wide and 20 feet (6 meters) tall on the slope of Mauna Loa with no animals and little vegetation.
