Thirty Minutes with a 3G: Matt Gever of 3GDC

A current Generations After Board Member, Matt Gever also serves as the  newsletter editor of 3GDC. His parents Eli and Rocha Gever (nee Levinson) are both survivors from Latvia. In December 2018, Matt participated in a study trip to Poland that examined Polish-Jewish relations and the purported resurgence of Jewish life in Poland. When not working on Shoah-related events, he is active at Sixth and I synagogue and with DC Jews on Bikes. He currently lives in the Petworth neighborhood of DC with his wife Karen. Matt received a Bachelor of Arts in History from UCLA in 1998 and a Masters of Public Affairs from the University of Texas in 2001. He currently works as an analyst for the U.S. Department of Justice.

In this episode, we discover that Matt is both a 2G and 3G (child and grandchild of Holocaust survivors); he knew from a young age that his parents escaped the Nazis but it took many years for him to use this background as a force for good in the community.
