Survivors of Genocide

For more than a decade, 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.

Our team is thrilled to announce that we are in full production of our newest feature documentary, HERE LIVED. This film tells the story of conceptual artist Gunter Demnig’s Stolpersteine project: he has placed over 100,000 marker stones outside the last known home of the people murdered by the Nazis. With filming just completed, we have been hard at work in the editing room, crafting an important and impactful narrative. 

In a recent blog post, 3G team member Alexa offered an on-set glimpse into the some of what went into bringing this project to life: 

“Our first shoot was with the Leavitt family. Bella, the older daughter, was in Amsterdam as a part of her Bat Mitzvah project. It marked the first time in history the Yad Vashem Twinning Program and the Stolpersteine project joined hand in hand: Bella chose to raise money to have Stolpersteine created for her “twin”, Betje de Vries, and Betje’s family. The next morning we filmed a Stolpersteine-laying ceremony for the de Vries family. Standing outside what was once the family home, with over a hundred people in attendance, it was clear how important it was for the celebrants to finally lay their family to rest. These stories and the stones continue to serve as healing so many years later.``
