Abstract
The article analyzes the transgenerational consequences of the Holodomor-genocide for Ukrainian society. The Holodomor of 1932-1933 took the lives of millions of Ukrainians, including infants and children. People who survived the Holodomor as children were imprinted with psychophysical trauma for the rest of their lives. During the Holodomor of 1932-1933, they were constantly hungry, ate surrogates, dead animals, etc., which directly affected their physical health and the health of their descendants. The everyday life of children during the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was filled with the search for means of survival. They saw people dying of hunger every day. Many children were orphaned and their parents and relatives died before their eyes. The intergenerational consequences of the Holodomor of 1932–1933 were felt throughout subsequent generations. The article analyzes the differences between transgenerational and intergenerational trauma, elucidates their essence, duration and manifestations in the descendants of the victims of the Holodomor-genocide of 1932-1933.
