Although the Holocaust technically ended in 1945, for those who survived the Nazi atrocities, as well as their descendants, it’s still very much alive in their DNA. In this panel, curated and moderated by
second-generation (2G) survivor and international bestselling author, Emily Wanderer Cohen, four generations of individuals with one common thread—the Holocaust—talk about their shared and divergent experiences, transmitted trauma and inherited resilience, and the responsibilities that accompany a direct connection to the Holocaust.

Emily Wanderer Cohen is the daughter and granddaughter of Holocaust survivors and the international best-selling author of “From Generation to Generation: Healing Intergenerational Trauma Through Storytelling.” Recognized as a Holocaust educator, and intergenerational trauma expert, Emily has been featured on BBC Radio and several podcasts and in Thrive Global, Huffington Post, The Forward, and Kveller.
