Daughter of a Holocaust survivor

Joan Poulin is the daughter of Holocaust survivors who never spoke of their past. Her father left Hamburg, Germany for New York in 1938, leaving his mother and brother behind. Joan was able to piece together his story from 175 letters he kept by his bed until the day he died.

Joan shares his story and the plight of those left behind, and also how being a child of Holocaust survivors has impacted her life and the lives of her children.

Joan lives in New York with her husband, Steve and they have two children. Joan works at a financial planning office.

Joan is a member of GenerationsForward, a group of second and third generation individuals sponsored by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center of White Plains, New York.
