The opening session for the “Names, Not Numbers©” Holocaust documentary film project was held at JKHA. Through the project, eighth graders will learn interviewing, filmmaking and editing skills from professionals to assist them in preserving the stories of Holocaust survivors by creating a documentary film to be screened in the spring.

Students heard what to expect from the year-long program from the program creator Tova Rosenberg, JKHA Principal Debbie Finkelstein, Head of School Rabbi Rubin as well as personal reflections from RKYHS eleventh grader Maya Minsky who spoke about the lasting impact that participating in “Names Not Numbers©” has had on her.
