Generation 2 Generation – talking about the Holocaust

Generation 2 Generation (G2G) aims to ensure that we learn the lessons of the Holocaust: the need for tolerance, empathy and understanding of all groups in society; the fact that prejudice and discrimination can motivate genocide.

G2G provides speakers who retell their parents and grandparents’ stories and experiences before and during the Holocaust. Our speakers are able to present to a variety of age groups, online or face-to-face, integrating first-hand video and audio testimony, photos and other artefacts to engage the students.

In the past 18 months our speakers have delivered more than 50 presentations to approximately 3600 audience members in schools, civic and religious institutions. Feedback from both students and teachers has been very positive.

“A superb presentation, pitched at exactly the right level for our students, combining the history with its impact on people.”  (History Teacher, Epsom)

 

“Thank you. It was really moving and a very clear explanation. Although it is almost impossible to imagine what it was like living as a Jew in the 1930s and 1940s, I now feel like I understand what they might have felt. It was extremely interesting and moving. Thank you for sharing your story.” (Year 9 student)
