My understanding is that it would be RNA, rather than DNA. That this is still very controversial and that the term 'trauma' must be used with caution. If you consider starvation a trauma, then there is evidence to support your claim. But to extrapolate from that to any form of trauma and you will find yourself in murky territory.
EDIT: Read the article now, and this Mueller person is such a great example of someone thinking they have an enlightened and progressive stance, but ultimately doing more harm than good. I guess her stance is "Nazis are bad", but by blabbering on about inherited trauma, she opens the door for so much dodgy thinking. If she is right, then can we safely hire the children of refugees to high stakes jobs? They'll crack under pressure won't they? Should it affect your security clearance that your dad was a career criminal? There's got to be traces of that in your genes somewhere, right?
