Abstract:
The article aims at achieving three goals: to discover how the children of intermarriage view themselves religiously and ethnically; to gain some insights into the relationships between children and parents and between children and grandparents in intermarried families; and to attempt to determine whether those who grew up in an intermarried home lack a secure sense of identity tending to feel that they don't really "belong" anywhere.
