SUMMARY:Family Memory and Identity
DESCRIPTION:Family Memory and Reconstructing Our Identity\nwith Dr. Serafima Velkovich\,\nYad Vashem Archivist\n  \n\nFREE for The FHM Members\n$10 General Admission\n  \nFamily memory is more than a collection of names\, dates\, and photographs—it is a powerful force that shapes who we are. \nThrough stories passed down across generations\, fragments of documents\, and preserved traditions\, families reconstruct their sense of belonging and identity. In the aftermath of the Holocaust\, when so many lives and entire communities were destroyed\, family memory became a vital tool for survivors and their descendants to rebuild continuity and meaning. \nJoin us to explore the role of family memory in the search for identity\, showing how personal narratives intersect with historical research. \nDrawing on examples from genealogical work and Holocaust commemoration\, Dr. Velkovich will highlight the ways in which memories—whether transmitted\, silenced\, or rediscovered—become building blocks of identity. Participants will gain insight into how uncovering and preserving family memory not only deepens our knowledge of the past but also strengthens the connection between generations. \nPlease join us for an enlightening conversation with Head of the Family Roots Research Section at Yad Vashem Archives\, Dr. Serafima Velkovich. \n Get Tickets\n\n\n\n\nDr. Serafima Velkovich\, Head of the Family Roots Research Section at Yad Vashem Archives\, has over 20 years of experience in genealogical research and Holocaust documentation. she holds a Ph.D. from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has contributed significantly to indexing Eastern European names in Yad Vashem’s databases.
