Film Screening: EJC Presents Traces

EJC and Searching for Identity Present the award-winning documentary Traces Voices of the Second Generation.

What was it like to grow up with parents who survived the Holocaust?

Who is responsible for ensuring the Holocaust and its generational impacts are remembered?

In Traces, Voices of the Second Generation, we hear directly from the children of Holocaust survivors. They share their parents’ remarkable accounts of surviving history's darkest evils and illustrate, through their personal recollections, how the Holocaust has shaped their own lives. These extraordinary experiences educate, enlighten and serve as a powerful tool, increasing understanding and compassion. This documentary provides a deeper understanding of the Holocaust’s reverberating effects, transcending generations. Traces acts as a warning and reveals that we are all responsible for ensuring these stories are remembered.

This documentary film (56:46 runtime) brings to light the Holocaust’s generational effects and challenges us to speak up to make certain hatred has no place in our world. Watch the trailer here.
