Why SHOAH STORIES

Antisemitism, racism, and other forms of hatred are on the rise – both online and offline. This is exactly where SHOAH STORIES comes in: the platform brings Holocaust education directly to where young people live and learn today – on TikTok, InstaReels etc.

Instead of being preachy or disconnected from their reality, SHOAH STORIES makes fact-based content accessible through emotionally powerful and informative short videos – produced by Holocaust memorial sites, museums, survivors and influencers from around the world.

Explore our ready-to-use lesson plans designed to integrate Holocaust-related videos into your formal and informal educational activities – and check out our series of short, engaging videos that walk you through the platform.
