3GDC - Washington DC Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors As grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, 3GDC constitutes a living memorial that preserves and honor

3GDC empowers third-generation survivors in our nation’s capital and the greater Washington region by creating space to share our common experience and elevating the voice of our unique constituency. We pledge to stand together against anti-Semitism and hatred; never will we be bystanders in the face of injustice. We will reflect the diversity of third-generation survivors, build relationships with communal and educational institutions in our area, and welcome
the participation of all those who support our mission. Ours is the bridge generation between the grandparents who helped raise and teach us and the future generations who will only know them through our memories. 3GDC will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust and its stories of heroism and humanity will not only be passed down through books, art, or film but in the voices and memories of those whose families forever bear living witness to history.

Remembering October 7

Three years ago today, on October 7, 2023, Hamas-led terrorists attacked communities across southern Israel, murdering about 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. It was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.

As grandchildren of survivors, we grew up hearing the words "never again" at our family tables. We carry our grandparents' stories, and we know what it means when a Jewish family is hunted for who they are. That is why this day weighs on us so heavily.

Today we remember the victims: the families, the young people at the Nova festival, the elderly, the children, and the soldiers and first responders who tried to protect them. We hold in our hearts the survivors, the bereaved, and everyone still living with the trauma of that day.

Memory is our inheritance, and it is also our responsibility. We commit to telling these stories, to standing against antisemitism in all its forms, and to honoring those we lost by living with courage, compassion, and purpose.

May their memories be a blessing.

Zichronam livracha.

From all of us at 3GDC, we wish all who are celebrating a very sweet and joyful new year. Looking ahead to 5787, we remain deeply committed to our mission, more essential than ever before. As our community continues to face an onslaught of hatred, 3GDC will be there to teach, to share, and to build bridges. Through the stories our grandparents passed down to us, we will keep shining a light into the darkest places.

We are grateful to all who continue to support 3GDC's important work, and we are excited for what the new year will bring. From facilitating more trained speakers in schools to forging new partnerships across the region, we are determined to make 5787 a year of growing our impact.

May the year ahead be one of light, of peace, and of strength. Shana Tova U'Metuka.

Warmly,
The 3GDC Board

Today, on Yom HaShoah, we remember. 🕯️

As grandchildren of survivors, memory is not distant; it is personal. We carry the stories, the resilience, and the legacy of those who endured the unimaginable and rebuilt their lives with courage and hope.

We honor the six million Jews who were murdered and uplift the voices of survivors whose strength continues to guide us. It is our responsibility to ensure their stories are never forgotten by sharing them, by listening, and by standing up against hatred in all its forms.
