To ensure remembrance, NEXT GENERATIONS engages in the following:
- The workshops NEXT GENERATIONS TO THE STORY: where the children and grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors learn from experts in the field how to tell the story of their parents’ survival, and how to share this unique experience with their listeners, students, soldiers and young employees
- WRITING WORKSHOPS: where the children and grandchildren learn to produce in written form the family and personal stories of the Survivors.
- Setting up, operating and maintenance of the ONLINE COMMEMORATION WEBSITE http://dorot.
memorialine.com / whose aim is to enable members to post commemoration pages for family members who perished in the Holocaust and for those who survived it; to upload photos and documents and to tell their story. The website is accompanied by a Facebook page with many thousands of daily visits which also serves to convey new information on efforts to prevent Holocaust denial.
- THE FORUM FOR THE STUDY OF THE HOLOCAUST AND OF JEWISH HERITAGE: an academic course held for the 4th consecutive year, in which next generations and other interested persons learn about the state-of-the-art research on Holocaust issues from the most important experts in the field.

Following the tremendous success of this event, NEXT GENERATIONS plans to hold an international conference on the subject in 2018.
