> Experience in Jews who are descendants of the Holocaust victims. There are methylation changes and a difference in anxiety levels:-http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0615/jewish_guilt_genes.php3-"Researchers studying the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have found that they have higher rates of post-traumatic stress after enduring car accidents, possibly due to modifications in their stress hormone system inherited from their survivor parents"-“'Do uniquely Jewish experiences from the past — like the pogroms our great-grandparents escaped — affect the way we behave today? I think that's a valid question,” Szyf says.- "‘Do uniquely Jewish experiences from the past — like the pogroms our great-grandparents escaped — affect the way we behave today?'-“'Jews that left Europe were highly self-selected for their survival skills and perseverance,” he adds, which might have been due to their genetic tendencies rather than epigenetic changes.-"In the end, though, it may not matter whether inherited genes or inherited methylation of those genes or plain-old nurture plays the dominant role.-“'Jews have always tended to lead lives that emphasized education, family structure and religious values,” Szyf says. So it should come as no surprise that these values have been passed on."
