Early Trauma

The nature of children's early environment has profound long-term consequences. We are beginning to understand the underlying molecular programming of the stress-response system, which may mediate the destructive long-term effects of cruelty to children, explain the evolutionary stability of cruelty, and provide opportunities for its reversal of early trauma.

Abstract Objectives Previous studies on Chinese famine suggested long-term effects of early life famine exposure on health conditions. This study aims to investigate the association between the exposure to 1959–61 Chinese famine at different early life stages and the risk of cognitive decline in adulthood. Methods A total of 6417 adults born between 1952 and 1964 in the 2015 survey data of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included in this study. Cognitive performance was estimated through a series of comprehensive neuropsychological tests, including the Telephone Interview of Cognitive Status (TICS-10), word recall, and pentagon drawing. Multiple generalized linear model (GLM) was employed to detect the association between multi-stage early life famine exposure and late life cognitive performance. Results Compared with the unexposed group, respondents exposed to famine in fetal period performed worse in TICS [difference −0.54 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.95 to −0.13, P = 0.009], word recall (difference −0.93 95% CI −1.47 to −0.39, P = 0.001), and general cognition (difference −1.46 95% CI −2.21 to −0.71, P < 0.001). Furthermore, we also found negative effects of famine exposure on performance of word recall and pentagon drawing in the early (word recall difference −1.09 95% CI −1.97 to −0.20, P = 0.016; pentagon drawing difference 0.77 95% CI 0.14 to 1.40, P = 0.017), mid (word recall difference −0.95 95% CI −1.65 to −0.26, P = 0.007; pentagon drawing difference 0.70 95% CI 0.20 to 1.20, P = 0.006) and late (word recall difference 0.61 95% CI −1.11 to −0.11, P = 0.017; pentagon drawing difference 0.76 95% CI 0.38 to 1.13, P < 0.001) childhood exposed groups. Therefore, both fetal and childhood malnutrition had a long-term negative effect on respondent鈥檚 cognitive performance. Conclusions Early life famine exposure in different stages is positively associated with late life cognitive decline. Fetal famine exposure might affect the overall cognitive status in adulthood, and childhood famine exposure has potential adverse effects on visuospatial episodic memory. Funding Sources No funding.

The book Last Train to Auschwitz: The French National Railways and the Journey to Accountability, written by Sarah Federman traces the SNCF’s journey toward accountability in France and the United States. Told from the Holocaust survivors’ perspective the volume illustrates the long-term effects of the railroad’s complicity with the Nazis on individuals, and transitional justice that leads to corporate accountability. In a time when corporations are increasingly granted the same rights as people, Federman’s detailed account demonstrates the obligations businesses to atone for aiding and abetting governments in committing atrocities.

The psychological consequences of intergenerational trauma on the second generation of Holocaust survivors were studied in a sample of 40 nonimmigrant Italian Jews and compared to a control group. Differences between offspring of Holocaust survivors (HSO) and a comparison group were assessed by the Adjective Check List, Anxiety Questionnaire Scale, Defence Mechanism Inventory, and Family Environment Scale. Although the HSO displayed no serious psychological consequences, they had higher anxiety levels than controls, low self-esteem, inhibition of aggression, and relational ambivalence. These data partially confirm previous research on the topic, although the level of psychological distress seems to be lower in the Italian sample than in other samples of second-generation Holocaust survivors.

SynopsisResults are reported from a large population study (of working people) comparing Holocaust survivors and a control group in regard to emotional distress, satisfaction in life and psychosomatic symptoms. It was found that, even 40 years after the traumatic experience, this group of survivors exhibited a slightly higher degree of emotional disorders than controls who were not under Nazi occupation during WWII. These long-term effects were usually more prominent in women than in men, and the relationship to age was minimal.
