On Thursday, December 16th, join an important talk on Zoom discussing the Second and Third Generations’ choices in life reflecting their family Holocaust heritage.
The Second Generation Network in collaboration with The Finkler Institute of Holocaust Research (Bar Ilan University, Israel) is presenting a unique discussion on a recently published collection of memoirs, Researchers Remember, further examining how the Holocaust determines the professional choices of the Second Generation and Third Generation.
Professor Judy Baumel-Schwartz of Bar Ilan University, will share her latest research findings with us. Judy has investigated amongst researchers within 2G and 3G to see whether there was a link, conscious or otherwise, between their Holocaust background and their having chosen a research profession (not necessarily connected with the Holocaust), whether in the academic world, law, medicine, or other forms of research.
This research follows Judy’s earlier research investigating 2G reflections on the impact of their heritage. Judy has published numerous books and articles, including Never Look Back: The Refugee Jewish Children in Great Britain, 1938-1945.
Judy’s talk will centre upon the dynamics of the research project, and its initial conclusions. Attendees can share their own thoughts and experiences during the Q + A that will follow the talk. The talk will begin at 5:30pm GMT. To register: https://2gn-judith-baumel-schwartz-16december.eventbrite.co.uk
