The Significant Legacy of Memory Among the Second Generation
When Memory Comes, Are We Returned to Poland or New Ground?
Recent writing of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors is creating a new literary community genre. Transcending national boundaries, Second and Third Generation children of survivors are encountering each other. Dr. David Kader will lead us in his own exploration that is both literary and personal. He has recently written of his parents’ lives and will share two short memoirs and invite conversation about the role of memory in the Second Generation.
David Kader was born in a displaced persons camp in the American zone of occupied Germany after World War II. His parents were Holocaust survivors. His mother – Lola was from Radom, Poland and his father – Israel Moshe was from Grojec Poland. The family migrated to the United states in 1949.
Webinar participants will be encouraged to briefly reflect on their own Second and Third Generation memories.
