SEVEN10STORIES
By Tamara Mizroch
In the wake of the devastating October 7th terrorist attack, a new initiative, Seven10stories, has emerged with a crucial mission: to preserve the memories of that fateful day, counter misinformation, and tackle the growing tide of anti-Semitism among younger generations worldwide. This commendable project was conceived by Communication students - Maya Mor, Shaked Mizrachi, Gady Mizrachi, and Neta Meir – just a week following the attack.
Seven10stories recognized an urgent need for non-politicized, unbiased content amidst a sea of skewed narratives. At its core, the initiative is dedicated to providing first-hand testimonies from those who witnessed the events unfold. By doing so, it has effectively bridged the gap between eyewitnesses and a global audience. Its approach fosters a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the Israeli narrative, one that is rooted in personal, human stories rather than abstract political discourse.
Every shot has meaning and must be captured just right
The impact of Seven10stories has been profound and far-reaching. Its content, resonating with millions across the globe, has not only garnered thousands of shares but has also played a pivotal role in shaping cultural discourse and societal attitudes. The parallel drawn between upholding the memory of the Holocaust and commemorating the October 7th tragedies is particularly striking. Both events, significant in their own right, have influenced society's perception and global ethos considerably.
Preparing to tell a difficult truth.
Seven10stories is more than just a digital platform; it's a beacon of hope and resilience. With over 90 interviews conducted, the team remains steadfast in its commitment to providing a voice for survivors and welcoming narratives from all those affected. Their goal transcends mere storytelling; it's about embedding these events into our collective memory, fighting against the forces of terrorism and anti-Semitism for both the present and future generations.
As we navigate a world rife with misinformation and polarized views, Seven10stories stands out as a vital force in preserving history's truth, fostering understanding, and nurturing hope. It’s a testament to the power of collective memory and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Production begins on Seven10stories.
Students collaborate to find the best way to create their story.
