Location shared with event registrants.

Arthur and his daughter, Stephanie, joined 3G Michigan for open, honest, and dynamic conversation among children and grandchildren of survivors. Informed by content from Dual Identities: Living in Meier’s Shadow, the group shared examples of the enduring impact of intergenerational trauma on their families and embraced the imperative for children of survivors (like Arthur) to tell one’s own stories and not just those of one’s survivor parents. These stories are essential in the ongoing battle to combat Holocaust ignorance, revisionism and denial.
