Irene Butter Fund for Holocaust and Human Rights Education

12/15/2022

 
On December 11, 2022, Irene Butter - educator, author, Holocaust survivor, humanitarian, mentor and friend, turned 92 years old. To honor Irene’s amazing contributions to social justice and Holocaust education, our book authors and members of Generations After created a fund to support future educational programs that will promote Irene's motto "all humanity is our kin". The fund will be housed at the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Ann Arbor. Thanks to the generosity of philanthropist, Patti Askwith Kenner, all donations between $92 and $1000 will be doubled until we reach the minimum endowment goal of $50,000. Please consider donating today in honor of Irene Butter. Your gift matters. DONATE here or send a check to the Jewish Community Foundation, c/o Robert Deschaine, 2939 Birch Hollow Drive, Ann Arbor, 48108.

An Interview with Rita Benn

10/14/2022

 
"Every survivor has stories of incredible luck regarding their escape from death,” says Rita Benn, the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, to Cynthia Reynolds, a reporter who interviewed her for an article in the Ann Arbor Observer. "As amazed as I have been by the horrors my parents endured, I have been equally astounded by the miracles that enabled their survival—the extraordinary acts of courage, devotion, and resilience.”  ​In the book The Ones Who Remember: Second-Generation Voices of the Holocaust, Rita Benn and her 15 co-authors describe the impact of growing up with both the known and unknown stories of their parents' Holocaust experience. One of Rita's recollections of unexpected grace particularly moved this reporter. Read the article Family Secrets published in the October issue to find out!  Hope this encourages you to buy our book or invite us to your book club or organization to share our stories.

Book Review

7/14/2022

 
In a review of our book printed in the quarterly newsletter of The Michigan Psychologist, a publication of the Michigan Psychological Association, Dr. Steven Ceresnie summarizes: "This book is a treasure of information about the wide effects of trauma. The Second Generation’s unique remembrances about their Holocaust survivor parents are filled with honesty, joy, sadness, vulnerability, conflict, anger, humility, hope, and resilience – the qualities that make us human. This book has much to teach us about the universal themes of how trauma lives in family members and how we may triumph over trauma in unique and creative ways."  You may read his full review here.  In addition to advance praise for our book, you can find new reviews on our book page at Amazon and Good Reads.
