Join us for this special panel event
Join Rachelle Unreich, author of A Brilliant Life; Maya Lee, co-author with Magda Hellinger of The Nazis Knew My Name, and Anita Lester, artist and musician as they share their experiences as second and third generation descendants of Holocaust survivors.
Through writing, memoir and art, these women are making new meaning from ancestral trauma, while often grappling with the generational impacts themselves. Their voices add to the collective history of survival, loss, and resilience—ensuring memory endures, an unbroken thread connecting past, present, and future.
Moderated by Dr Simon Holloway, Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
Suitable for ages 15 and up. Free event. Bookings required.
