Mission: Living Links™ empowers descendants of Holocaust Survivors to create enduring communities devoted to sharing their families’ legacies. We pledge to keep the lessons of the Holocaust relevant and inspire individuals to stand up to hatred, intolerance, and antisemitism.
Living Links™ is devoted to building a 3G community of impassioned leaders. They strengthen our shared purpose of ensuring the lessons of the Holocaust continue to inspire individuals to counter intolerance and hate. We have 3 pillars of engagement for growth: 1) We Cultivate: We help local 3G groups (grandchildren of survivors) throughout the United States thrive and build their communities. Currently there are 10 established organizations, and we intend encourage groups to form in major cities throughout the country. As well, we are focused on creating partnerships and affiliations with existing Holocaust institutions to create a strong relationship to the next generation of leaders; 2) We Educate: The centerpiece of our organization is a Speaker Training Program to guide 3Gs to learn and share their family stories compellingly with schools, organizations, and community groups. As well, we will provide programs that deepen our understanding of the Holocaust and inspire us to confront contemporary issues; and 3) We Advocate: We will use the unique moral voice of the 3G community to speak out on contemporary issues.
