Join Us at the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center For A Guest Lecture by
Dr. Serafima Velkovich
Date: Sunday, December 7, 2025
Time: 12:00pm
RSVP required at hmcec.org

The program is a guest lecture by Dr. Serafima Velkovich, the Head of the Family Roots Research Section at Yad Vashem Archives. Dr. Velkovich will explore the role of family memory in the search for identity, showing how personal narratives intersect with historical research. Drawing on examples from genealogical work and Holocaust commemoration, it will highlight the ways in which memories—whether transmitted, silenced, or rediscovered—become building blocks of identity. Participants will gain insight into how uncovering and preserving family memory not only deepens our knowledge of the past but also strengthens the connection between generations.
