The List

This is a book about an online community of the Second Generation (2g), children of Holocaust survivors. Created in 1995, e List was the brainchild of Paul Foldes, a 2g electrical engineer and consumer attorney turned businessman. Knowing that online communities were an opportunity to reach beyond local meetings, he founded e List even before the web existed. Created when internet communication was just beginning for most people, it was the rst to break local and national barriers to become a truly international, Englishspeaking, 2g framework. Based on a free internet platform, with moderators working on a volunteer basis, it required no funding. e Second Generation had nally come into its own. e book tells the story of the List and its members over a quarter of a century.
