Online workshop for the children of survivors

Last summer, the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey held two roundtable meetings for the children of Holocaust survivors. As the survivor generation diminishes, the center’s goal was to gain insight into the next generation’s needs and learn what kind of programs they want.

Now, based on some of what it learned, Ramapo is offering a five-part online workshop. “Presenting Your Family’s Survival Story” will be offered from October 16 to November 13, at 7 p.m., via Zoom. It aims to help survivors’ descendants narrate their family story by teaching techniques for effective storytelling. Limited spaces remain. To RSVP, email Holgen@Ramapo.edu or call (201) 684-7409.
