Third Thursday Lunch & Learn
Kelly Tichauer-Kirk will lead a thought-provoking discussion on the complexities of intergenerational trauma, drawing from her graduate research in Holocaust and Genocide Studies and her personal family history as all four of her grandparents were H
olocaust survivors. Through her presentation, participants will gain deeper insight into how trauma reverberates through generations and the ongoing process of resilience and remembrance.
Kelly Tichauer-Kirk is a Realtor and Holocaust educator based in Omaha, Nebraska. She is a partner of the Tichauer & Kirk Real Estate Group with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate and has been serving clients for over 15 years. Kelly earned her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1998, graduated from the Randall School of Real Estate in 2010, and completed her Master of Arts in Holocaust & Genocide Studies from Gratz College in Pennsylvania in 2025, where her research and thesis explored intergenerational trauma in the third-generation Holocaust survivor population.
A third-generation descendant of Holocaust survivors, Kelly serves as Chair of the Advisory Board for the Institute for Holocaust Education and as a Nebraska Jewish Historical Society board member. She shares her family’s story through public speaking and education to inspire others and ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.
