Generation to Generation  Honoring the Past  Shaping the Future     In-Person Program

Generation to Generation: Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future – In-Person Program

Join us on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) for an evening of memory, resilience, and testimony. Three generations of Holocaust survivors will take the stage, sharing their lived experiences and bearing witness to history. Through their words, we honor the past, confront the present, and shape the future. We are privileged to welcome Gerald Lindenstraus as the keynote speaker. 

This gathering is more than a remembrance—it is a call to listen, to learn, and to carry forward the voices of those who endured. The program will run for approximately 75 minutes, including a moderated audience Q&A featuring three generations of survivors.

Part of the Center’s programming series Anne Frank in History and Memory in connection with  Anne Frank The Exhibition.

About the Keynote Speaker: Gerald “Jerry” Lindenstraus 
Born in Germany in 1929, Jerry witnessed the horrors of Kristallnacht before fleeing with his family to Shanghai, where he spent seven years as a refugee. His journey took him across continents—from war-torn Europe to Colombia and ultimately to New York, where he has dedicated his life to ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.
