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.
