New Drop-In (Free) Discussion Forum for Children of Survivors of the Holocaust

Dear friends,

These are difficult times for all Jews everywhere and for those of us who are the children of survivors, there is a need for a place to speak about our experiences among ourselves. Dorot, an organization that has been established 25 years ago in NY city, has invited me and my colleague Dr. Jenni Frumer to host a new series of drop-in meetings for children of Holocaust survivors. The meetings will take place monthly, every first Wednesday of the month, between December 2023 and April 2024, at 7:00pm EST.

These meetings will offer an opportunity for an interactive discussion among the participants and the facilitators. Participation is free of charge. To register for the December 6, 7:00pm (EST) Drop-In discussion group, click the image below and follow the registration link there,

Note that these meetings are in addition to a series of three presentations, two of which by me (the first of which took place on November 15, and will become available online) and the third by Dr. Yonit Hoffman (for details and registration, please see my previous blog post at this link).

I am looking forward to meeting you in the new discussion sessions!

Warmly,

Irit

  3. I would like to discuss the pro Israel rally. in
    Washington last month. Did anyone else have the feeling of being with their deceased parent? (holocaust survivor}, the feeling of the crowded metro-the cattle cars . and also the “shvester ” that developed for me spontaneously

      Hello Malki,
      The whole purpose of these meetings is to allow each of us to express what they feel, in a safe and mutually respectful and accepting environment.
      I hope you will be able to share whatever you would like.
