Generations of the Shoah International Newsletter December, 2014
Dear Members and Friends,
Generations of the Shoah International (GSI) is happy to announce we will again be working jointly with the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Descendants (WFJCSHD) for an international conference October 9 -12, 2015 in Houston, TX in cooperation with the Holocaust Museum Houston.
This means GSI will be participating in two major conferences in 2015: as we already announced we will be working jointly with the Association of Holocaust Organizations (AHO) for a conference June 13 – 16, 2015 in Las Vegas, NV. The AHO conference will be more academic in nature while the WFJCSHD will have some academic components but will be more of a “family reunion”. Members of the survivor community are welcome to attend either or both. Please be aware that there is limited capacity for the AHO conference and it will be first come – first served.
There is information about both conferences below.
Every year at this time we ask those of you who feel well-served by GSI to please pass it forward and make a donation to the social service agency assisting survivors or Holocaust museum/memorial of your choice. There are far too many Shoah survivors in need and all the memorials can use financial help so please be generous.
Season’s greetings,
Generations of the Shoah International (GSI)
Membership in our interactive leadership listserv is open to leaders / representatives of landsmanschaft and other Holocaust-related groups.
