Israeli celebrities and creators are taking part in a special project this year with Facebook Israel and NGO Latet to highlight the stories of Holocaust survivors on Instagram stories for a younger, very online audience. Screenshots from promo videos.
Noa Kirel, Neta Alchimister, and Maya Wertheimer are just a few famous Israeli performers, actors, and influencers whose names wouldn’t immediately come to mind when talking about Holocaust remembrance and Holocaust survivors.
Yet, they and over a dozen other Israeli celebrities and content creators are banding together this week with Facebook Israel and Israeli NGO Latet to launch a special project called “Sharing Memories” (Ma’alim Zikaron in Hebrew), with the aim of giving a voice and a platform to the heroic stories of Holocaust survivors.
