In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day this January, join author Jennifer Krebs for a thoughtful discussion of the themes in her book, including how displacement, persecution, and fear can echo from one generation to the next. Jennifer will reflect on her father’s childhood in Germany and contrast it with her own upbringing in Western New York, exploring how their experiences shaped identity, memory, and resilience. She will also share the story of her own “big move” to the Bay Area in 1982, drawn by the LGBT community, and how that journey fits into her broader family legacy.
Jennifer Krebs is a writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York’s Catskills. As a second generation Holocaust descendant, she draws on her family’s lived experience to examine trauma, memory, and the enduring strength of survival. She is a semi retired environmental planner, and her memoir Stumbling Blocks, a Second Generation Holocaust Memoir was published in July 2025.
