Dr. Nataliia Ivchyk

I am Dr. Nataliia Ivchyk. I carry a deep heart and an unwavering passion for creating a safe space where Holocaust survivors can share their stories. I seek friendship and genuine emotional connection with each survivor, becoming part of the community through trust and care.

Only when that trust is built do I gently ask, “Will you trust me with your memory?”

I offer a place to let go — a space to give voice to the chaos and storms they’ve endured, to their tumultuous and tempestuous journeys. Reliving the past is deeply traumatic, yet often profoundly therapeutic. In those memories, survivors may feel a torrent of emotion: grief, terror, rage, guilt, and isolation — but also love, pride, resilience, and hope. Their stories carry unbearable sorrow, yet also the unbreakable thread of survival — of what it means to endure, to remember, and to be known.

Together, we remember. We honor the survivors and those whose lives were violently stolen. Their stories live within us and are carried forward across generations.

We must never let their memory fade. We bring the past with us — into the future.
