How do we continue the legacy, tell our family story? Hephzibah Rudofsky, daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, will provide the introduction to this Discussion Group meeting, describing how she tells her family’s story, using their artefacts. In 2009, she established an educational programme, ‘Surviving the Holocaust’ with her mother, Lady Zahava Kohn, which she delivers to schoolchildren of all backgrounds, university students, and adults – through an interactive and deeply personal approach. As the custodian of an extensive family archive of artefacts, letters, photographs, and documents collected and preserved by her mother and grandmother during their time in Westerbork, Bergen-Belsen, and Biberach camps, Hephzibah uses these to add a profound and tangible dimension to her presentations. Following her introduction there will be a chance to discuss your own experiences of using your family archive to share your family story or share your thoughts on how you might be inspired to do so in the future.
A Zoom link will be provided. 6.20pm for 6.30pm BST. If you would like to attend, please email: davidwirth@secondgeneration.org.uk
