How does being a descendant shape experiences of caregiving and grief?
Descendants often find themselves not only dealing with personal loss but also carrying the responsibility of preserving memory and family history. This timely program created for children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors explores the emotional weight descendants carry and their strength through conversations and interactive sessions.
Featuring a keynote conversation moderated by Rabbi Miriam Margles with novelist and scholar Eric Beck Rubin about his newest book, Ten Clear Days, which explores complex questions about life, death, and agency through the story of his grandmother, Mary, a Holocaust survivor. Through multiple perspectives, readers learn about the life of this strong and deeply loved woman in stories, relationships, and interpersonal conflicts, all woven around Mary’s decision to choose MAiD.
Following the keynote conversation, please join us for interactive sessions and workshops (learn more below) led by expert facilitators. The workshops will explore legacy and storytelling, compassionate caregiving, and dive deeper into program themes. Please note that each session will be offered twice, allowing attendees to participate in more than one session.
The program includes light refreshments and an opportunity for connection and conversation.
