As we hear of more Holocaust survivors passing, it serves as a reminder of how important second and third generation testimony is. It is through the stories of children and grandchildren of survivors that their memories continue.
At the Cape Town Holocaust & Genocide Centre we undertook a project to contact second and third generation survivors and asked them to film a short clip as a tribute to their parents or grandparents. We were overwhelmed at the positive response and the poignant memories that were shared. It is more important now than ever before to keep these memories alive. We need to make the past part of our present so that it will live on into the future.
