Liberation After Liberation

80 years after the end of the Shoah, the descendants of survivors address liberation and its subsequent impact on their families’ lives.  The act of liberation was only the very beginning of a long process by which survivors began to reclaim their autonomy and reintegrate into society.  Sometimes painfully,  survivors made their way to new lands, reestablished goals for moving forward, and found love again.  Out of intense desire to rebuild families and thereby claim some semblance of meaning in their new lives, the second generation was born.  Perhaps no two generations in the Jewish people’s history were ever as tightly bound to one another as those of the survivors and their children. Those children, today, remember their parents’ liberation and its lasting meaning.  

Speakers are members of the Shoah Legacy Writers, a group of second-generation descendants of Holocaust survivors who came together to tell their personal stories.
