Welcome back for Part 2 of my discussion with 3G Collective: John Reed, Shany Dagan, and Jana Krumholtz!

Three grandchildren of Holocaust survivors are using their talents as dancers, actors, and choreographers to tell their families' stories through powerful artistic performances.

• John describes his journey from watching his sister dance to becoming a professional dancer and choreographer
• John shares his experience working on "Amid Falling Walls," an off-Broadway show featuring Yiddish songs written in concentration camps and ghettos
• Shany discusses her transition from Israeli contemporary dance to American theater and aerial circus arts
• Shany explains her dance memoir featuring her grandparents' Holocaust survival stories performed simultaneously on stage
• Jana talks about her commercial dance career highlights including performing on SNL and Lip Sync Battle
• The artists explain how they formed the 3G Collective after discovering their connected histories
• Each artist describes their individual shows exploring third-generation Holocaust trauma and resilience
• They discuss why third-generation stories provide unique perspectives on Holocaust history and intergenerational trauma
• The collective emphasizes that their art demonstrates Jewish resilience - "they didn't win, we're still here"
