GenerationsForward
The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center created a second and third generation speaker group, GenerationsForward. This group includes second, third and fourth generation speakers.
We meet throughout the year and have ongoing projects, events, book clubs and speaker presentations. MemoryKeepers are members who are trained to help them share their family's story from a next generation perspective, adding new meaning to the Survivors' powerful stories of witness.

The HHREC MemoryKeeper Family History Group is a resource we offer to help develop and present a family’s Holocaust story. This program offers a unique opportunity to make meaningful connections with other descendants of Holocaust survivors.
Training sessions are scheduled weekly for 8 weeks at our library at 4 West Red Oak Lane in White Plains. The MemoryKeeper Family History Group includes access to resources for family research from pre-war through post-war and life in the U.S., writing vignettes for each of these periods; vetting for historical accuracy by the HHREC Education Department; and training to help prepare for presentations.
The program cost is $230 and includes a one-year membership to the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center. For more information, please contact Millie Jasper at mjasper@hhrecny.org and visit our Events page for more information.
