We Are Living Links
We empower the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to lead, educate, and inspire. Transform your family's testimony into a powerful tool for education.

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
Almost 3 million descendants of Holocaust survivors live in the United States. We honor our families’ legacies by sharing their stories, because those stories bring history to life. They inspire others to stand up to hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism, to shape a better world.
Engage and Inspire
Listening to the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors does something textbooks can’t. We turn history, often described in numbers, into personal experiences that engage students. Our speakers are available virtually nationwide and in person across the U.S.
Share Your Legacy
Learn how to share your family's Holocaust experience with students and community groups while connecting with your own family history in new ways. You'll meet others with similar backgrounds and discover what carrying this story forward means for you. We provide the tools for storytelling. You provide the voice.
Get involved and mobilize descendants in community, civic engagement, and education by joining a 3G network in your area.
Will You Speak for
the Future?
Each month, we spotlight a Living Links speaker and the story that drives them to honor their family’s legacy with others. Let it move you to uncover, embrace, and share your own family’s story—so together, we can carry forward the lessons of the Holocaust for generations who will never hear a survivor’s voice firsthand.
Your Voice. Your Impact.

The VHA, which is indexed, fully digitized, and searchable, is the largest video collection of Holocaust testimonies in the world.

I believe firmly and profoundly that whoever listens to a witness becomes a witness, so those who hear us, those who read us must continue to bear witness for us. Until now, they’re doing it with us. At a certain point in time, they will do it for all of us.
