Legacy Chronicles – Episode 326: “Carrying the Legacy: A Second Generation Speaks”
Hosted by Donna Rosenblum | Featuring Dinah Kramer
Produced by the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center (hmTv)
In this moving episode of Legacy Chronicles, host Donna Rosenblum sits down with Dinah Kramer, a second-generation Holocaust survivor, educator, and docent at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center.
Dinah shares the remarkable and heartbreaking story of her parents — both born in Kielce, Poland — who endured the horrors of Nazi persecution, slave labor, and loss, yet built a new life of resilience and family after the war.
Through intimate reflections, Dinah opens up about what it was like growing up as the child of survivors — the silence, the unspoken trauma, and the lasting impact of inherited memory. From her father’s tattoo to her mother’s courage, Dinah recounts how those experiences shaped her own life and her commitment to Holocaust education.
Now a dedicated docent and storyteller, Dinah has found meaning in keeping her parents’ voices alive — ensuring that future generations not only learn history, but feel its human weight.
This episode is a powerful testament to remembrance, identity, and the enduring strength of the second generation.
Listen to hear:
- The hidden struggles of growing up as a child of Holocaust survivors
