These are the five 2024 “Short Film, Large Subject: Emerging Filmmaker Contest” finalists. The winner will be announced on Monday, February 10th. #HolocaustEducation #FilmContest Recognizing the potential of films to reach large numbers of people and to educate and spark powerful discussions, the Claims Conference invites emerging filmmakers from around the world in an annual contest to create short films that will educate and raise awareness about the Holocaust. The Claims Conference provides film grants as part of its ongoing support for Holocaust research, education and documentation as films highlight a particular aspect or story from the Holocaust, enabling viewers to connect emotionally with the victims and survivors. By learning of one family’s survival by hiding in a cave, or the triumph of a concentration camp soccer team, or the stories behind a tattooed number, even a viewer with no connection to the Holocaust will walk away with a realization that the vast numbers connected with the Shoah each represent a person, a story, a life taken away or forever changed.

On Dec 22, 1943, Rabbi René Hirschler and his wife Simone were arrested by the Gestapo in Marseille and deported to Auschwitz on transport 67. Simone died there on Apr 27, 1944, and Rabbi Hirschler perished in Ebensee weeks before the end of the war. Of the 1,201 deportees onboard transport 67, which left Paris on Feb 3, 1944, 985 of them were murdered upon arrival at #Aucshwitz. For more information on the Hirschlers, please visit the @cjewishhistory at:

Today is the last day of the Claims Conference's #RememberThis #ISurvivedAuschwitz campaign. Please go to our social media channels to witness the courage of the 80+ Holocaust survivors sharing what they would like the world to remember from their experiences in #Auschwitz. The responses included Holocaust survivor Judith Hervé-Elkán wanting the world to remember what she cannot forget, a mother dying with her child in her arms. Holocaust survivor Ella Blumenthal wanted people to remember not to lose hope; her niece wanted to end their suffering in Auschwitz, but Ella convinced her to wait another day because she wasn’t ready to die. They survived and Ella is 103. The campaign was partly based on Holocaust survivor Aron Krell. Aron wanted the world to remember his brother Zvi: “I know many people can’t fathom what I have endured. But you can understand loving a brother like I loved Zvi, can imagine the unbearable pain that comes with losing one, and, hopefully, agree that the lessons of the Holocaust must always be remembered.” Thank you for supporting these Holocaust survivors’ messages these past two weeks. #Auschwitz80

80 years ago this month, Roza Robota and three other women – Ala Gertner, Regina Safirsztajn and Ester Wajsblum – were hanged in Auschwitz. A leader in the resistance, Roza played a key role in smuggling gunpowder which led to the prisoner uprising that destroyed a crematorium. Although the four women were subjected to torture, they did not divulge the names of their comrades. #RememberThis: Roza was 24 years old when she was executed. Her final message to her comrades, "Be strong and of good courage" continues to inspire generations to stand against injustice and fight for freedom. Theirs was the last execution in #Auschwitz #Auschwitz80
