Tennessee Holocaust Commission: 

Subject: Invitation to Join a Group for Second and Third Generation Families of Holocaust Survivors 

 

Dear Families of Holocaust Survivors, 

My name is Ken Gluck, and I am the Education Coordinator for the Tennessee Holocaust Education Commission. I am also a second-generation survivor—my father, who was from Hungary, survived the Mauthausen Death Camp. 

 

We are starting a group for the families of Holocaust survivors, refugees, hidden children, and resistance fighters, to honor their memories and ensure they are never forgotten. 

 

The purpose of this group is simple: to share and learn about our families’ journeys, fostering connection and support. Our goal is to meet once a month in the greater Nashville area. The day, time, and location will be determined based on the group’s availability and preferences. 

 

If you are interested in learning more or participating, please don’t hesitate to contact me ken.gluck@tnholcom.org    If you know others who share this background, please feel free to forward this message to them as well. 

 

Thank you for your interest. I look forward to connecting with you soon. 

 

Widowers & Widows Social Group 

Group of Jewish widowers and widows who have lost his/her spouse recently or in the distant past. This is not a dating service or a meet/meat group but a group of adult individuals who are interested in doing things with a group of people who have been through a similar loss as opposed to doing things by him/herself.  We meet for lunch on the 2nd Monday of each month at various restaurants.
