Next Generation Prioritizes Telling Survivors’ Stories

3G Philly founder and WEDU Speaker Stacy Seltzer was featured in this week's Jewish Exponent discussing the next generation's efforts to continue telling survivors' stories.

Stacy described how 3G Philly and 3GNY's WEDU Program "teach third-generation members to tell their grandparents’ stories in new and respectful ways, as well as partnered with schools to create opportunities for others to hear the stories of survivors through the words of their grandchildren.

'Essentially, it is a way to get into schools and teach students who may never even have heard of the Holocaust or who may never have met a Jewish person about what took place,' 3G Philly founder Stacy Seltzer said.

Seltzer understands that though she will never be able to tell her grandparents’ stories in the same way they would, the deep obligation to share their stories remains:

'That’s a conversation I’ve had to have, to say, ‘I’m so fortunate that you’re here. Are you comfortable with me sharing this story?’ And my grandmother has said to me, ‘I can’t do it anymore. I’m so grateful you are.’"
