Robyn!

Robyn is proud to serve as Co-Chair of the 3G Boston Speakers Bureau. Inspired by her grandmother’s story of surviving the Holocaust by hiding in plain sight—told to Robyn as bedtime stories growing up—she completed the 3GNY WEDU Holocaust education speaker training program to help preserve survivor testimony for future generations.

Robyn is Vice President of Yisod, Temple Emanuel of Newton’s 20s/30s community, where she helps lead social and cultural programming. She is also a graduate of the ADL Glass Leadership Institute, through which she traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby Massachusetts senators for expanded Holocaust education, before serving on ADL’s Associate Board.

Robyn brings her passion for Jewish community, education, and remembrance to her work with 3G Boston.

From StandWithUs:

On this day, June 15th, 1944, a photograph captured the deportation of nearly 3,000 Jews from Dunaszerdahely, Hungary, to the N**i extermination camp Auschwitz. Today marks 82 years since that tragic event. Approximately 565,000 Hungarian Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Especially now, with the global rise of antisemitism, it's crucial that we never forget the atrocities of the Holocaust.

Boston 3G Vice President Gabi

Gabi is proud to also serve as co-chair of the Boston 3G Speakers Bureau. After her beloved Zaidy died, Gabi started looking into his survival story of being on the run in Budapest and Hungary. She'd been looking for a place to tell the story when she found out about the 3GNY WEDU Speaker Training, and was inspired to help out with Boston 3G as much as possible. Gabi is so proud to be sharing her Zaidy's story with future generations.

In her professional life, Gabi works as an Adult Services Librarian at a public library, where she connects library patrons, especially underserved populations, with resources like immigration forms and citizenship classes, addiction recovery centers, and books that reflect the diverse community she serves. This work has inspired her volunteer work at Boston 3G and Temple B'nai B'rith, where she serves on the Shivyon working group for LGBTQ+ inclusion in Jewish life.

Outside of work and 3G, Gabi enjoys fiber arts, hanging out in her backyard pool, and spending time with her cats, guinea pigs, and wife.

At the heart of Boston 3G’s mission is empowering grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to explore and share their families’ Holocaust experiences with students and community groups, fostering understanding and standing against hate and antisemitism.

Members of Boston 3G are available to speak in classrooms, libraries, synagogues, Holocaust remembrance events, and other venues. If you are a teacher, administrator, or event coordinator looking for a 3G speaker, we would be honored to share our families’ stories of the Holocaust with you.

Today is my Zaidy's birthday. It took me until some five years after he passed away to dig into his story, find the other 3Gs, and decide to tell his story to students in order to address hate and bigotry.

Zaidy grew up in a border town in Czechoslovakia/Hungary, and spent the last years of the war in hiding and escaping from slavery, while the fate of his three beloved sisters and his parents was unkown to him. Years later, he escaped from communist Czechoslovakia to the US.

Growing up, he told his Holocaust story to anyone who would listen, yet no one ever recorded it. So now it's our job to pass down the oral histories and help the next generation turn these stories into action.

I'm Gabi, the Vice-President and Co-Chair of the Speakers' Bureau. Join me in wishing a L'chaim to my Zaidy on his birthday!

If you would like to hear his story or the many other unique stories we bring to the table, or if you're a 2G or 3G yourself, you can request a speaker or sign up to be a speaker at our website.

I am deeply troubled to learn of the antisemitic graffiti last week in a bathroom at a Beverly middle school.

Sadly, I was not surprised.

The Anti-Defamation League recently reported a 50 percent increase in antisemitic incidents at non-Jewish K-12 schools across Massachusetts in just one year. These incidents remind us that antisemitism is not a problem of the past. It is a challenge we continue to face in our schools, our communities, and our society.

Massachusetts has taken an important step by requiring Holocaust and genocide education for middle and high schools. But legislation alone cannot change attitudes or build understanding. The Commonwealth's Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism, on which I served, identified antisemitism in K-12 education as a serious and growing concern. Its recommendations called for stronger Holocaust education, anti-bias training, and improved reporting mechanisms. These are important measures, but they are only part of the solution.

Education must move beyond facts and dates. Students need opportunities to understand where hatred begins, how prejudice spreads, and what happens when societies fail to respond.

That is why Holocaust Museum Boston is being built.

When the museum opens in the spring of 2027, visitors will encounter survivor testimony, authentic artifacts, and immersive exhibits that bring history to the present. They will learn that the Holocaust did not begin with concentration camps. It began with words, stereotypes, propaganda, exclusion, and the normalization of hatred. Most importantly, they will be challenged to consider their own role in shaping the future.

Until our doors open, Holocaust Museum Boston remains committed to supporting educators, schools, and families throughout Massachusetts and New England. Our educational programs, including Propaganda, Hate, and Media Literacy: Lessons from the Holocaust, help participants examine how misinformation spreads, how bias becomes normalized, and how individuals can respond when they encounter hatred.

The graffiti in Beverly should concern all of us. It is a reminder that the work of Holocaust education is not simply about understanding history. It is about strengthening our communities today.

Antisemitism has no place in our schools, our Commonwealth, or our world. The responsibility to confront it belongs to all of us.
