As the Holocaust recedes further into historical memory with each passing year, the need to enshrine its lessons and impart them to future generations only grows more urgent.
3GNY is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 by a group of grandchildren of Holocaust survivors with this vital aim in mind.
This week, 3GNY Executive Director Dave Reckess spoke with CAM Editor-in-Chief Barney Breen-Portnoy about the organization’s work, which has become even more relevant amid the global surge of antisemitism triggered by the October 7th massacre in Israel.

The inspiration originally came to Alana Kreshtool Snyder while reading age-appropriate books about race, social justice and gender identity to her two young daughters.
“I realized if I can have these really tough conversations with my kids about racism, I should be able to introduce the topic of the Holocaust — which is so important to me and our family — in a way that is appropriate for my really young children,” said Snyder, 33, a Pikesville native and resident. “It can be something my daughters will always remember growing up knowing.”
The seed was planted for Snyder, who works as an early intervention teacher for Baltimore County Public Schools, to author a book about the Holocaust for young kids.
