WHO WE ARE:

We are 3G’s, third generation Holocaust survivors. We hold a singular place in history: we are the last to have heard the stories of the Holocaust directly from those who lived them. We’ve witnessed their scars, but more importantly, we’ve inherited their spirit. We are a community of grandchildren dedicated to transforming our grandparents' incredible resilience into a living, breathing legacy of hope and action.

We are the ones who will make sure the world will #NeverForget.
