Carolyn Siegel-If You Heard What I Heard

Assemblymember Laura Friedman and the Jewish Caucus honor Carolyn Siegel.

Carolyn Siegel is on a mission to gather testimony from the last generation that will have had real-life, personal interactions with the increasingly shrinking population of Holocaust survivors. With little time left to reach survivors, Carolyn founded, “If You Heard What I Heard,” in April 2021. 

If You Heard What I Heard films grandchildren of Holocaust survivors— known as “3Gs,” meaning third generation — retelling their grandparents’ stories. Siegel likes to say the third generation — her generation — is living proof of their grandparents’ resilience. Thus, the onus is on them to preserve and retell these stories.
