Pitchipoï by Guillaume Adler is a French-language nonfiction work exploring the experiences and identities of children of Holocaust survivors. Published in 2002 by Métailié, the 142-page book delves into the intergenerational trauma, memory, and legacy carried by the second generation. Drawing on personal narratives and historical context, Adler examines how the shadow of the Holocaust continues to shape family dynamics, cultural identity, and psychological well-being decades after the events. The title references a mythical place often mentioned by survivors, symbolizing both hope and displacement. This work contributes to broader discussions on postmemory and the long-term effects of collective trauma.
