A Jewish Youth Movement Across Generations - Behind the Scenes
Channel: Humanity in Action
Date: 2022-10-18

In the short film 'A Jewish Youth Movement Across Generations,' Humanity in Action Senior Fellow Nitzan Menagem follows the story of Vale, a young and active member of Hashomer Hatzair Germany – a Jewish youth organization from the early 1900s. To Vale, Hashomer Hatzair is not only a movement, but an emotional connection to her great-grandfather who was a leading member in the 1930s. Today Vale hopes to connect with her past, while building the movement back up.

In this Behind the Scenes interview, Nitzan shares her excitement of discussing the future of the youth movement and what they would leave for the next generation, not just how history affected it. She was inspired by the story of Vale and her family coming back to Germany to continue a life there although their grandfather's life in Germany was shattered by being forced to flee.

Untold Stories | Places of Memory is a series of stories uncovering lesser known narratives and places in the context of Nazi injustices.
