But then what? Narratives and memories of granddaughters and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, has as its central theme the narratives of granddaughters and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors who were born and/or reside in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The study focused on the narratives of four granddaughters and three grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, people within the approximate age range of 35 to 40 years old and who lived with grandparents who were victims of Nazi persecution and extermination. Listening to them brought fragments of past stories reinterpreted in the present time. The main objective was to listen to the narratives of the granddaughters and grandchildren of survivors of this event in order to understand what they know and say about the Holocaust. The research guiding questions were: (a) granddaughters and grandchildren of survivors heard stories about the Holocaust? (b) what experiences, related to the Holocaust, did you have with your grandparents? What did you learn from them? (c) are these narratives relevant beyond the family sphere? Does the memory of a traumatic event contribute to human formation? (d) are there tensions between voice and silence – speaking and being silent – in the face of the memory of the Holocaust? (e) are there and, if so, what are the impacts of these narratives for an education that walks in a dimension contrary to barbarism? The research had as a methodological strategy semi-structured individual interviews. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the interviews were all conducted online, through the google meet platform, recorded in audio and transcribed in their entirety. It was written in pandemic. Challenger. Its central theoretical-methodological contribution is Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) and Zygmunt Bauman (1925-2017), two important thinkers who were chosen due to the relevance of their concepts and works to the theme. Many other authors arrive throughout the dissertation with extensive contributions and theoretical dialogues. Analyzes indicate that being a third generation Holocaust survivor makes the sense of being a direct part of this story; it carries secrets, mysteries and intertwined feelings of uniqueness and historical collectivity. Fear, courage, decision, support, struggle, are feelings that the people interviewed in this research brought intertwined to their memories of what they heard from their grandparents and to their reflections in the present time. Remembering grandparents as an example, strength and resistance were data that appeared recurrently in the narratives. The findings also tell of grandparents who talked and did not talk about the experiences lived in the Holocaust; that narrating was good for some and not necessarily for others; and that feeling close to the experiences lived by their grandparents correlates with geographical places and museums visited, movies, listened to lectures, in addition to what they heard from their parents, members of the second generation, and other family members.
