"Three's Company" - An Interview with the 3G Collective (Part 1)

In this episode, we welcome a panel of third-generation Holocaust survivors (3Gs) who share their grandparents' remarkable survival stories and reflect on how this legacy shapes their lives today.

• Our guests Jana Krumholtz, John Reed and Shany Dagan discuss their varied Jewish upbringings across Florida, Australia/Texas, and Israel
• Each shares detailed accounts of their grandparents' Holocaust experiences, from the Lodz ghetto to concentration camps and partisan resistance
• We explore how trauma passes through generations, manifesting in relationships with food, safety concerns, and family dynamics
• The guests reveal personal journeys to understand and heal from intergenerational trauma through therapy, bodywork, and creative expression
• We discuss the challenge of balancing Jewish identity with personal authenticity in a world where antisemitism is again on the rise
• All three guests are creating theatrical works that process their family histories and trauma
