PRESS RELEASE: Boston, MA, October 21, 2026
Boston 3G Is Now 3G Boston!
We’re excited to announce that Boston 3G has officially changed its name to 3G Boston!
As a local organization uniting grandchildren and friends of Holocaust survivors, 3G Boston is part of Living Links, a national network of independent 3G (“third generation”) groups across the United States. Together, these organizations provide grandchildren of Holocaust survivors with opportunities for social connection, education, and advocacy in a supportive community that honors and explores our shared and complex legacies.
“Our new name will help strengthen recognition of our organization, as well as enhance our collaboration and sharing of resources with independent 3G organizations throughout the United States,” said Lisa Einstein, President of 3G Boston.
Along with our new name, we’re proud to introduce our updated logo and mission statement, which reflects our commitment to preserving our families’ stories, educating our communities, and building meaningful connections among 3Gs.
While our name is changing, our commitment remains the same: to honor our families’ legacies, keep their stories alive, stand against hatred and antisemitism, and build a connected and supportive 3G community.
Same community. Same mission. A new name for our future.
We look forward to continuing this important work together as 3G Boston!
3G Boston's Free Speaker program is a powerful contribution to Holocaust education
EMPATHY: We are uniquely positioned to connect with listeners of all ages. We visit classrooms and communities, in-person and virtually, to tell our family stories. We lend a strong personal connection to a history often described in numbers.
URGENCY: As the population of Holocaust survivors declines, their stories should not be lost with them. Now is the time to take responsibility for these stories.
PERSONAL: As a living link to our grandparents’ stories, we are in a special position to elevate the individual experience from the collective. Their stories remind us that history is not just a collection of dates and events but a tapestry of human experiences—of resilience, courage, survival, and sometimes luck.
RELEVANCE TO ALL: The Holocaust serves as an instructive entry point for examining prejudice today. This program will make connections between historical events and issues of intolerance and persecution that remain with us.
SOCIAL ACTION: In a multicultural society, we all have a stake in challenging assumptions. This program will actively engage students to think about ways to confront intolerance and prejudice.
Each story is a testament to the power of hope and the will to live.

USC Shoah Foundation Forms Partnership with Living Links, The First National Organization for Grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors
In 2023, Boston 3G participated with nearly a dozen independent 3G groups that had formed over the last decade to create Living Links, a national network that offers grandchildren of Holocaust survivors social, educational, and advocacy opportunities in a supportive environment that honors and explores their common and complex legacies. Leaders from Boston 3G participated in strategy sessions and focus groups to develop Living Links’ mission. Boston 3G is one of 14 3G affiliates, with several more in early stages of development. Each 3G organization will maintain its autonomy, while the Living Links—USC Shoah Foundation partnership will provide a professional infrastructure and networks within the field. Read more.
