ABOUT
OVERVIEW
We Live On Jewelry is women-owned and designed. Each piece is crafted to be symbolic, empowering wearers to proudly express their Jewish identity at a time when antisemitism continues to rise. These pieces are heirlooms in the making, intended to be passed down through generations as symbols of pride and resilience. A portion of the proceeds are donated to organizations supporting Holocaust survivors in need.
MISSION STATEMENT
At We Live On, our mission is to craft uniquely designed Judaic jewelry that serves as a lasting tribute to the enduring spirit of the Jewish people. Through each piece, we honor generations of strength - those who survived, those who were lost, and those who continue to carry forward our heritage with pride.
The survival of the Jewish people, despite centuries of persecution - from the pogroms of Eastern Europe to the forced expulsions and violence faced by Jews in the Middle East and North Africa, is a testament to our shared resilience. Across continents and generations, our communities have endured through the unity of our people, and our unwavering commitment to preserving Jewish identity and culture. In the face of loss and repeated exile, we continue to live.
The Nazis intended Auschwitz tattoos to dehumanize Jews, reducing individuals to numbers and stripping away their identities. We are reclaiming those numbers—transforming them into beautiful, tangible representations of the people they belonged to.With each passing generation, the memory of the Holocaust and other historical traumas fade. As survivors age, and are no longer able to share their stories firsthand, it becomes our responsibility to carry those stories forward and ensure they are never forgotten. Certain pieces in our collection were thoughtfully designed to allow for the engraving of tattoo numbers.
INSPIRATION
I was inspired to create the We Live On line of jewelry after reading two deeply moving articles. The first told the story of a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor whose grandson tattooed her Auschwitz number on his arm. Though she was emotionally overwhelmed by the love and honor behind his gesture, she was also conflicted—rooted in the teachings of Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves.”
The second article focused on Holocaust survivors living below the poverty line—individuals who had endured unimaginable hardship, now facing their later years with limited resources and support.
My mission became clear: to create meaningful, beautifully designed jewelry that allows people to honor and remember survivors and victims—without the need for tattoos—and to give back. A portion of every purchase is donated to nonprofit organizations supporting Holocaust survivors in need.
DONATION
Ten percent of net proceeds will be donated to The Blue Card, a nonprofit organization supporting Holocaust survivors in need.
The Blue Card (EIN: 13-1623910) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing direct financial assistance to needy Holocaust survivors in the United States. Since its founding in 1934, The Blue Card has been committed to ensuring that survivors can live with dignity, offering support for medical care, housing, food, and emergency needs. Through various programs, including cash assistance, mental health support, and emergency response services, The Blue Card continues to serve the most vulnerable members of the survivor community.

Once the last survivor has passed, these donations will shift to support Holocaust education initiatives—ensuring that the phrase NEVER AGAIN is not just a statement, but a reality.
