Shoah Survivors & Descendants of Greater Washington, DC
The Generations After, Inc. was created in 1979 as an organization of children of Holocaust survivors in the Greater Washington area.
It has expanded over the years to include grandchildren of survivors and survivors themselves with the merging of The Generation After, Inc. and Jewish Survivors of the Shoah and Friends of Greater Washington in 2015.
We are also affiliated with Generations of the Shoah International (GSI), a worldwide umbrella group for second generation activities.
Remember a Child provides pre-Bar/Bat Mitzvah families with the name of a child Shoah victim who was annihilated before he or she could become a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Families receive a Certificate of Remembrance to document this “match,” bibliographic/references, citations, or links to enable families to conduct even more in-depth independent research. The current generation can thereby commemorate the lives of those one-and-a-half million children whose lives were so tragically curtailed.
