American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants
- American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and their Descendants
The American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Their Descendants is the umbrella organization of survivor groups and "landsmanshaften" of North America. Soon after the World Gatheringin Israel in June 1981, the visionaries of that event established a nonprofit corporation with a mission of remembrance, education and commemoration. The first of these commemorations was held in Washington, D.C., in April 1983.
The society engages in advocacy, and publishes a newsletter.
