Abstract
Transgenerational trauma was examined among descendants of Holodomor survivors using the HITT-Q. Data from 197 third- and fourth-generation Ukrainians showed greater measures for Fear, TI Parenting, Heightened Responsibility, Trauma-Related Distress, and Historical Moral Injury in the third generation, supporting persistence of historical trauma alongside stable intergenerational resilience.
