Awakening Generations to Acknowledge History

Across generations, there has been a significant shift in acknowledging and discussing historical events such as partition, with the third generation taking active steps to delve into family histories. In Britain, a culture of institutional silence has long surrounded topics like partition, hindering discussions and understanding. However, in recent years, a notable awakening has occurred as individuals, especially the younger generation, are increasingly engaging in projects to connect with their origins and delve into their family's past. This generational shift mirrors the pattern seen in the discussion of other historical events like the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust, where it was the third generation that took the lead in bringing these narratives to light.
