WEDU (“We Educate”) is 3GNY'S flagship educational initiative that empowers grandchildren of Holocaust survivors (“3Gs”) to learn and compellingly share their family's Holocaust experiences with students and community groups.

Developed in partnership with Facing History and Ourselves, WEDU is a 4-week educational course for participants to learn and teach their family stories.

After completing the course, 3GNY places volunteer WEDU speakers in classroom and community settings to share their stories and lessons with others.

WEDU training is led by our experienced staff, including Peter Nelson, former executive director of the New York Facing History and Ourselves office, and Dave Reckess, executive director of 3GNY.
