N2 - This paper examines how is the Subjective Holocaust Influence Level (SHIL) of Holocaust survivors’ offspring (HSO) is reflected in their daily life, habits and wellbeing. For this purpose, we asked 346 Jewish-Israeli HSO about their daily life, habits and emotions and divided them into three groups based on their SHIL. We find that higher SHIL correlated with increased worry, being more suspicious of others, higher anxiety about the future, feeling a need to survive, risk aversion, self-rated health and unwillingness to discard food. However, we found only a minor effect on their financial behavior.
