A Holocaust survivor is anyone who survived the systematic, state-organized policy of genocidal mass murder of the Jewish community perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its allies and collaborators. Any individual, Jewish or non-Jewish, who was persecuted, targeted, arrested, displaced and/or discriminated against due to the racial, religious, ethnic, social, and political policies and ideologies of the Nazi Government between 1933-1945 and survived is a Holocaust survivor.
In June, 2022, I was invited to participate, as a long time HMLA docent, in a writing workshop for 2G’s. I am always interested in interacting with other 2G’s and I like to write, so it seemed like a perfect combination for me. What I did not know was what a meaningful experience this was going to be, one which I don’t want to end. It has been so rewarding hearing the stories of my fellow 2G’s, getting to know others who come from a background like my own, and understanding their stories as they understand mine on a level of shared experiences. As with most things I do at the museum, I always seem to receive as much, if not more, than I give and I want to thank our wonderful facilitator, Michele Gold, for leading us on this fulfilling journey.
