The KTA held our last biennial KTA Conference in 2015 (for the moment, we may bring them back) and from 2016-2025, the KTA joined with the World Federation of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants, in cooperation with Generations of the Shoah, for annual conferences.
In 2026, the KTA is a member of the WFJHS&D but is no longer a co-sponsor of the WFJHS&D conference. KTA Board Members serve on the program committee, and:
The KTA invites Kinder and descendants to attend!
The WFJHS&D 36th Annual Conference will be October 23-26, in Philadelphia, PA with the theme:
Survivors’ Journey to Freedom: A Legacy of Resilience and Contribution
Over the course of three days a very special international community of Holocaust survivors and descendants is created. This gathering will provide Holocaust survivors, descendants, partners, and spouses time and space to explore topics of mutual interest, socialize, and schmooze. We invite you to attend this amazing opportunity to attend workshops, panel presentations, dance and enjoy the company of friends old and new.
