The Sydney Jewish Museum guide course Generation to Generation
(G2G) is an intergenerational education program that seeks to
give participants a deep knowledge of Holocaust history and to
embed Survivor testimony into the memory of later generations in
order to keep their precious stories alive. A pilot G2G course
was run in 2004 and followed by intensive programs in 2006 and
2010. The result of these two programs has been the addition of
a new generation of guides to the Sydney Jewish Museum, without
whom our education programs simply could not function. The
program encompasses the complementary themes of history and
memory and comprises educational seminars focusing on Holocaust
history, oral testimony and issues arising from the process of
intergenerational transmission of memory. The academic learning
process is further enhanced by ongoing contact with Survivors in
a one-on-one mentoring program. Participants will also learn
about Jewish history, culture and tradition and in particular
the history of Jews
