For Holocaust survivors in the U.S., more than remembrance is needed
Knowing how easily stories get lost and people forgotten, Larisa Silnicky decided years ago to write down her memories.ArrowRight
“I wanted to leave something for my granddaughter,” Silnicky, who is 85, tells me on a recent afternoon as she hands me those pages in a spiral-bound book she paid to get printed. The letter explains that there are about 60,000 Holocaust survivors residing in the United States, and about a third of them are living in poverty. The Holocaust Survivor Assistance Program, the letter says, has led to the implementation of more than 400 programs that have person-centered, trauma-informed approaches and has assisted other aging adults who have experienced trauma, including military veterans, refugees and survivors of childhood and domestic violence.
On the day I visit Silnicky, her case manager Sophia Presman joins us. The two interact with ease and alternate between speaking Russian and English.“She lives alone and she really doesn’t have a lot of friends,” says Presman, who works as a care manager for the Jewish Social Service Agency. “So, as a care manager, I’m constantly in contact and she knows she can call me anytime.”
