Survivors of Genocide

For more than 15 years, 3 Generations has been dedicated to documenting the harrowing stories of genocide survivors, preserving crucial historical evidence, and ensuring that the world never forgets these unspeakable atrocities. We were founded to document and raise awareness of the genocide in Darfur: the first genocide of the 21st century. In 2005, we visited Sudan and Chad to collect testimonies. This evolved into the award-winning feature documentary, The Devil Came on Horseback. Since then, our agenda has expanded to include the stories of survivors of genocides in Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, the Holocaust, Tibet, and more recently Myanmar and Iraq.

As we approach our last quarter in 2024, 3G moves forward with a more precise focus on two issues that have been the heart of our organization for many years: genocide and women’s issues. With a keen eye on these two issues, we will continue to advocate for survivors of genocide and those with no access to proper reproductive health care. As the upcoming U.S. presidential election looms, we join you all in showing resilience.

3 Generations continues to keep memories of those who suffered through genocide alive with current works of film. HERE LIVED, our latest feature film, is the story of hidden children, murdered parents, generational trauma, and one artist’s singular vision for healing. Centered in this documentary is artist Gunter Denmig, and the largest decentralized memorial he created for victims of the Holocaust, named Stolpersteine (literal translation: stumbling stones). This memorial represents a deeply personal commemoration to those affected.

For more than 15 years, 3 Generations has been dedicated to documenting the harrowing stories of genocide survivors, preserving crucial historical evidence, and ensuring that the world never forgets these unspeakable atrocities. We are a safe harbor for survivors of atrocities to tell their stories—brutal, tragic, inspiring, uplifting—in their own words. 

Our latest feature film, HERE LIVED, The Stolpersteine Story, is the powerful story of hidden children, murdered parents, generational trauma, and one artist, Gunter Demnig’s singular vision for healing. On May 5th, we were honored to host the New York premiere at the Marlene Meyerson JCC. 

3G is delighted to share the generous feedback we received from audience members: “HERE LIVED is Riveting! We all have read and seen footage of the horrific stories about the Holocaust. This film provides the history of a few individuals and statistics about many who were captured. Still, it also shows you the goodness in the hearts of many who donate their time and resources to memorialize the victims of the holocaust with these beautiful stones. Without this film, I would not have known the good that came from something so bad.” Additionally, one of our generous attendees commented, “It was a poignant reflection of how such a small artistic act compounded and became a powerful tool for remembrance, learning, and a beginning towards healing generational trauma.” 

After a sold-out premiere, we are offering an encore screening. Please join us on Tue, May 21st, at 7:00 PM at the Marlene Meyerson JCC. You can purchase tickets here. Our screenings are an opportunity to get to know our organization and witness the outcome of your much-appreciated support. Following the screening will be a Q&A with Producer/Director Jane Wells, Composer Brian Keane, and Stolpersteine Co-ordinator BeNeLux-countries Alexander Stukenberg.
