In an effort to make the Holocaust relevant to young people, 20 prominent Israeli celebrities will interview survivors on Instagram this Yom HaShoah.
Israeli singers Noa Kirel and Kobi Aflalo, Galgalatz radio host Hadar Marks, and many other celebrities with large Instagram followings will participate in the “Sharing Memory” project. Each of the stars will interview a Holocaust survivor, and upload the videos to their Instagram stories April 7-8.
The project is spearheaded by Facebook Israel and Israeli NGO “Latet” – an organization devoted to reducing poverty in Israel.
NoCamels reports:
The celebs will tap into their respective followings on Instagram with the important message on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day this week — the memory of the Holocaust should not be forgotten.
The project will begin at sundown on Wednesday, April 7 when Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel begins and end 24 hours later. During this time, over 20 celebrities and creators will use their Instagram Stories to connect Holocaust survivors to the younger generation and inspire them to think earnestly about the plight of these survivors and become more socially involved in preserving their memory.
The digital assets of these public figures, who have a cumulative audience of millions, will provide a significant platform for Holocaust survivors and will allow their voices to be heard in the reality of a vanishing generation, Facebook Israel and Latet said in a joint statement.
