Boston 3G is a non-profit organization founded by the grandchildren (3rd Gen) of Holocaust survivors who have come together to create an outlet for Holocaust remembrance in the Greater Boston area. Our collective mission is to honor our grandparents' legacies by educating future generations to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust and be upstanders in the face of hatred and antisemitism. We empower the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to share their grandparents' stories and provide a human face to the Holocaust.
We invite you to join our email list to stay informed of upcoming events or feel free to contact us with any speaker requests, thoughts or questions.
RSVP TODAY! Family-Friendly Yom HaShoah Walk & Commemoration
Join Boston 3G, IAC (Israeli American Council) and Holocaust Museum Boston for a meaningful Family-Friendly Yom HaShoah event as we honor Holocaust Remembrance Day with a short walk from the Massachusetts State House to the New England Holocaust Memorial. Together, we will gather to paint rocks of remembrance, share in the power of music and poetry, and recite Kaddish as a community. This event is an opportunity for people of all ages to reflect, remember, and ensure that the stories of the past continue to be told for generations to come.
**This event will conclude at the New England Holocaust Memorial together with JCRC, CJP and the Greater Boston community to recite Kaddish.
Calling All 4Gs!
We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Lappin Foundation to develop meaningful programming for 3Gs and younger generations. The Foundation has a strong track record of designing and delivering Holocaust education programs for learners of all ages, including a recently developed program for children ages 7–9 at the YMCA in Boston.
It would be helpful to know who the 4Gs are in our group. If you would like to add the names, birthdates, and emails (if applicable) of your 4Gs, please do so. We will be meeting with Lappin Foundation in the coming months to hopefully expand our programming for kids, teens and young adults.

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.
