About 3G Sydney

Since the end of WW2, the personal testimony of survivors has been integral to the teaching of Holocaust history and a powerful tool for moral instruction. Now, as the survivor generation dies out, the memorialisation of the Holocaust takes on new urgency. At 3G Sydney, we believe that the grandchildren of Holocaust survivors are uniquely position to take up the mantel, relaying their intimate knowledge of lived Holocaust experience to future generations.

We invite you to join us on the journey.

What We Do

Learn to tell their Holocaust story.

Join one of our story-telling workshop and learn how to tell your grandparent's Holocaust survival story in a compelling way.

Testimonials

Here's what people have to say about the experience of doing a 3G course, or hearing a 3G speaker.

“I wanted to say once again a huge thank you for today. I found myself quite emotional as you each spoke. I didn’t realise how powerful it would be to hear the 3rd generation tell the Holocaust stories of their parents and grandparents. It was genuinely moving and I think really powerful. You are all young enough in the students eyes for them to realise this wasn’t so long ago. It made the history more accessible.”,

Lee-Anne Whitten

Senior Educator, Sydney Jewish Museum

I've always wanted to learn more about my grandparents' stories, and to find a way to share them. 3G Sydney is giving me that opportunity. The story-telling workshop I did with them taught me how to present my story in a compelling way, but also provided me with a dedicated space and process to do so. It was also wonderful to connect to other 3Gs and share the process with them. A deeply meaningful experience from start to finish. And now I regularly get the opportunity to share my grandparents' stories with others!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our next Speaker series starts on 19 October 2025. Please get in touch to express your interest and we will be in touch with more details.

Most of our storytellers are grandchildren of Holocaust survivors (what is often referred to as third-generation survivors) however you don't have to be. We also work with second-generation descendants (although typically these are people who are generationally aligned with the third-generation). We also teach people to tell the stories of other Holocaust survivors with whom they had a personal connection, such as aunts, uncles or close family friends.

If you are interested in getting involved, either as a workshop participant, story-teller, volunteer administrator or philanthropist, please get in touch.

3G refers to the concept of a 'third-generation' survivor of the Holocaust. 3G Sydney was created to emulate and extend the work of 3GNY, who first established a story-telling program in New York City to teach New York based 3Gs how to tell their grandparents' Holocaust stories to students in local schools. 3G Sydney is Australia's version of the same program.
