Naaleh High School’s Names Not Numbers program learned so much on their trip today at the Museum of Jewish Heritage!

In honor of International Holocaust Day, we are proud to present a special virtual screening of the Premiere Film of the Miami Jewish Film Festival 2020-- Names, Not Numbers. This compelling and timely film follows the experience of a dynamic group of students from the Greater Miami area who participated in a one-of-a-kind interactive oral history film project. Immersed in this unique educational experience, the students interviewed local survivors and documented their memories, stories, and lessons from the Holocaust as they learned interviewing techniques, documentary filmmaking, and editing skills. By sharing their personal stories and reflections, the survivors forged lasting relationships with the students and prepared the possibility of a better tomorrow.

The link will be up for one week starting January 25, 2021
