Assia Gorman and her granddaughter, 19-year-old Ruth Gorban, are taking part in the new digital campaign Our Holocaust Story: A Pledge to Remember.
She likes to share her memories with her granddaughter, 19-year-old Ruth Gorban, a university student, who also lives in Berlin and“My grandmother is amazing,” said Ruth, sitting next to Gorban on the couch. “I even invited her to my school, so that everyone in my class could hear from her personally about the Holocaust.
The campaign by the Claims Conference features survivors and their descendants from around the globe and illustrates the importance of passing on the Holocaust survivors' testimonies to younger family members as the number of survivors dwindles. More than 100 Holocaust survivors and their families are participating in the campaign, all of whom will be featured in posts across the Claims Conference’s social media platforms every week throughout the year. Survivor stories will be shared on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, using the hashtag #OurHolocaustStory.
Even at her old age, Gorban is still an active member of Berlin's Jewish community, volunteering weekly at the Jewish nursing home and talking to high school students about her life. Pulling her necklace with a Star of David pendant from underneath her sweater, the young woman with the long dark hair explained that she prefers to hide it when she's in public.
