TO BE CONTINUED...Reflections on Growing Up with Holocaust Survivors
Welcome to our podcast, TO BE CONTINUED… Reflections on Growing Up with Holocaust Survivors, where we explore the intersections of memory, identity, and resilience.
Our goal is to lift up the experiences of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, and to ask how survivors’ memories shaped their lives. How did resilience help form who they are today? And what legacy will they leave for the generations that follow?
Within the next 10 years, most survivors will be gone. As the world loses these witnesses of the truths of the Holocaust, second- and third-generation voices are more important than ever.

Menachem Rosensaft is an attorney, law professor, poet, and one of the most influential voices of the second generation. Born in the Bergen-Belsen displaced persons camp to parents who survived Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, he has spent his life engaging questions of memory, justice, and moral responsibility.
In this episode of To Be Continued… Reflections on Growing Up with Holocaust Survivors, Rabbi Jeff Salkin speaks with Rosensaft about what survives survival itself: exploring inherited trauma, the “ghosts” carried by children of survivors, and the obligation to remember in ways that demand action.
