RAC is a program to memorialize children murdered in the Holocaust by linking current generations with Jewish children who tragically lost their lives in the Shoah.
Sponsored by The Generations After, a Washington, DC, non-profit organization of Holocaust survivors and descendants, it is a way to add unique meaning and depth to your child’s simcha.
William Weissenburger celebrated his bar mitzvah by honoring the memory of Gyorgy Alexander, a boy who shared the same hometown of Sátoraljaújhely, Hungary, as William’s maternal great-grandfather and namesake.
