The Impact of Animation in Holocaust Remembrance
Animation has emerged as a powerful tool in Holocaust remembrance, blending art and education to convey stories and lessons for future generations. This programme will explore how animation enhances documentary films and museum experiences, bringing history to life in innovative ways.
After opening remarks by Dr. Judith S. Goldstein, Founder and Executive Director Emeritus Humanity in Action, Award Winning Director and Producer Dr Slawomir Grunberg will share insights and examples from his groundbreaking documentary films, showcasing how animation pushes the boundaries of traditional storytelling. Following this Motion Graphic Specialist, Ron Ayalon and Video Storyteller, Yuval Nathan will take us behind the scenes of their creative process in developing animated films for the Yad Mordechai Museum, offering a glimpse into how animation serves as an educational medium. Finally, Curator at Yad Mordechai, Tamar Herzberg and Director of Digital Content at Ghetto Fighters’ House, Yaron Tzur will demonstrate how museums integrate animated content to engage and educate visitors on Holocaust history.
This programme is presented in partnership with Yad Mordechai from Holocaust to Revival Museum, Humanity in Action, Classrooms Without Borders, the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre, and the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University.
