Yom HaShoah 2026 – What we inherit: Trauma, Memory and the Power of Resilience
19 Apr 2026
By the 1960s, some 35,000 Holocaust survivors had migrated to Australia, forming the bulk of Australia’s Jewish community. Today, most Melburnian Jews are descendants of those survivors, most of whom came from Poland and the Former Soviet Union. Do the children and grandchildren of survivors bear the burden of inherited memory? Can memory even be inherited? In this one-day symposium, we will address the nature of both inherited trauma and vicarious resilience.
Join us for the morning session, followed by our annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration in the afternoon.
Tickets are available for the Commemoration only.
