Names, Not Numbers "Names, Not Numbers"©: A Lasting Way to Teach the Lessons of the Holocaust.

"Names, Not Numbers" is copyrighted oral history film project and curriculum that was created by award-winning educator Tova Fish-Rosenberg. The project takes the teaching of the Holocaust and its lessons well beyond many previous efforts. In a traditional Middle/High School classroom, students learn about the Holocaust through reading books, listening to lectures, or watching documentary footage

of individuals they will never meet. But the “Names, Not Numbers” curriculum, transforms traditional history lessons into a lively, interactive, nontraditional program that involves individuals who have actually lived through the history being taught.

In honor of International Holocaust Day, we are proud to present a special virtual screening of the Premiere Film of the Miami Jewish Film Festival 2020-- Names, Not Numbers. This compelling and timely film follows the experience of a dynamic group of students from the Greater Miami area who participated in a one-of-a-kind interactive oral history film project. Immersed in this unique educational experience, the students interviewed local survivors and documented their memories, stories, and lessons from the Holocaust as they learned interviewing techniques, documentary filmmaking, and editing skills. By sharing their personal stories and reflections, the survivors forged lasting relationships with the students and prepared the possibility of a better tomorrow.

The link will be up for one week starting January 25, 2021
