Volunteers: There are 25 current or soon-to-launch 3G affiliate organizations across the country. The leaders of those organizations sit on our Regional Council and each group has either a board or lay leaders they depend on.

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.

Mission: 3GNY is an educational non-profit organization founded by grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. As a living link, we preserve the legacies and the lessons of the Holocaust. Our mission is to educate diverse communities about the perils of intolerance and to provide a supportive forum for the descendants of survivors. Our generation is the last living link to survivors. It is primarily through us that future generations will hear the actual stories of our grandparents’ survival. We must ensure that others see the human face of the Holocaust, as well as understand its details, its place in history and how it is viewed and discussed today.

Services: Our WEDU ("We Educate") program trains and sends 3G volunteers to schools and community groups to compellingly share their families' Holocaust experiences with others. 3GNY also creates forums for descendants to meet, learn, connect, and share ideas, through educational and social programming in NYC and virtually.

Mission: The Ninth Candle's mission is to end antisemitism by sharing knowledge. We fulfill this mission by partnering with schools across the United States to improve standards in Holocaust education.

Services: The Ninth Candle serves middle- and high schools with educational programs for students in grades six-through-twelve, and with professional development programs for teachers. Our programs are distinctive for being tailor made: each one is the outcome of a collaborative process in which we partner with the school to learn about their community and their goals. We also champion inquiry-based learning, using historical documents to help participants to understand how and why the Holocaust happened in the time and the place that did. Our programs are always offered free of charge.
