Preserve and Honor Our Legacy

We, the descendants of Holocaust survivors, are building communities across the country. We honor our families’ legacies by sharing their stories–with each other, our neighbors, our colleagues, and our elected officials–so that we can stand up to hatred and shape a better world.

A Promise To Keep

We estimate there are more than 3 million descendants of Holocaust survivors in the United States. We honor the legacy of our families by sharing their stories and wisdom to inspire others to shape a better world by standing up to hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism.

Your Voice. Your Impact.

“I learned that hearing about her grandfather’s experience made me realize how easily people can lose everything because of hate and lies. It shows why people have to speak out when they see injustice.”
High School Student, MD
“When I heard that he was almost killed for stealing potatoes, it made me think about how starvation and cruelty can make people lose their humanity — and how others can choose to act with compassion, even in evil systems.”
High School Student
“It was shocking that someone could be spared just because they were useful. It made me think about how people’s lives were decided by others’ needs instead of any sense of justice.”
