AJEX launches initiative aimed at younger generation

Topics for discussion include the path from a childhood in north London to a life in uniform, contending with a dual British and Jewish identity, and confronting antisemitism and why standing up to it matters.

AJEX’s CEO Fiona Palmer said that AJEX NextGen “represents the next chapter for our charity”, as they prepare for a time where it is no longer possible to hear from British war veterans.

She continued: “We are incredibly fortunate that we can still hear directly from veterans who have lived these experiences, but we know this will not be forever. That is why it is so important to empower the next generation to take on the baton of remembrance to stand up to hate and to ensure these stories and values are never lost.”

The initiative as a whole will provide a space for all involved to honour the past, consider identity, and explore leadership and service.
