Expanding “Insights”
The Israeli “Insights” project, which includes a special production of a song made entirely from Holocaust survivors' messages to the next generation, keeps growing. The Israeli Students Union and the Ministry of Senior Citizens has announced their cooperation with “Insights”, in finding holocaust survivors who wish to share their wisdom and students who will visit the survivors, document them and help them realize their legal rights.
Another big organization who joined the project is Taglit (Birthright), which is bringing young Jews to Israel for a free of charge ten-day tour, in order to connect them with Israel and Israelis and help strengthen their Jewish identity. Taglit will pitch in in collecting testimonies from Holocaust survivors around the globe. Taglit will also assist in finding the artist who will perform the finished “Insights” song, and will host him or her in one of its big yearly concerts.
