Take Action

  • Invite survivors of the Nazi Holocaust or other genocides to tell their stories, perhaps as part of a Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) observance. Consider recording the stories and making them available to future generations via local libraries or archives, and/or creating a public exhibit of recordings and artifacts from survivors in your community.
  • In the film, the family gathers for a Passover Seder. Use your holiday gatherings or life cycle celebrations as an opportunity for family elders to share the stories that comprise your family's history.
  • Plan a family trip to visit the place(s) where your grandparents or great grandparents were born or raised.
  • Convene a reading group to read historical memoirs from the Holocaust (or other genocides) and compare their methods and styles with the way Tamar Tal Anati and the brothers in the film construct their memories.
