Communal Memory, Communal Responsibility: Holocaust Education in a Post-Survivor Generation
Monday, August 8, 2022 • 11 Av 5782
8:00 PM - 9:30 PMThis generation will likely be the last to hear the stories of Holocaust survivors directly from the survivors themselves. In this panel discussion, author Dr. Samantha Vinoker-Meinrath will join second and third generation survivors and Facing History staff as we explore the future of Holocaust education in light of this reality. In his 2018 book Witness, Dr. Ariel Burger writes that Professor Elie Wiesel was known to quote a Hasidic saying: “Forgetfulness leads to exile, memory to redemption.” What is the legacy of memory left for us by survivors and what does it mean to bear witness to those memories? What lessons can we learn from their experiences in the Holocaust, and what tools do we have to ensure that those lessons are not lost?
Join our conversation, as we unpack these questions and others, and grapple with the future of Holocaust education.

Led by Ziva and Jonah Hassenfeld and others including Rabbi Samuels Join us this summer for Torah Treks, a weekly Shabbat Parent-Child learning experience exploring Sefer Bamidbar, the Book of Numbers, through the lens of journey, challenge, and discovery. Together, we’ll study key episodes in B’nei Yisrael’s wilderness wanderings and leadership struggles and reflect on how their ancient paths speak to our own. Each session includes accessible learning for grades K–7 alongside their parents or grandparents, with interactive Torah study, activities, and community bonding. We'll gather at shul and, on select weeks, take our learning outdoors for a guided nature hike—bringing Bamidbar’s spirit of exploration to life. -
