Eva.Stories - Special for holocaust remembrance day

Today is the Holocaust Remembrance Day and there’s a huge project that was made in Israel.

The project’s goal is to educate the youth about the Holocaust, and how did they do that? with the thing teenagers use the most - Instagram.

It’s basically an Instagram account for a 12 years old girl in 1944, it’s important to say that this is based on a true story and not just a fictional one.

Here’s a “Trailer” of what was about to come - https://www.instagram.com/p/BwzDi11HF5d/

And she tells her story and shows her life through story, like most of the teenagers do. but it’s just in the time zone of the Holocaust.

It is a high-quality production, they spent Millions of dollars on advertisement and for the making of the stories.

it currently has 499k followers in a few weeks, already received the blue badge and grows insanely fast.

I honestly think that this is a brilliant idea to educate the youth ( who are a tough crowd to reach and make them listen about things like this ) about the Holocaust.

What’d you think? I know it’s not that relevant to SwapD, but it’s an important topic that is currently happening on Instagram, which is kinda close to what we do.

I don’t think this is the main driving force behind most activity on SWAPD (educating people). While it’s a noble cause, most people here are trying to make a living here via silly entertainment. What is exactly that you’re proposing/asking here?

BTW, I may be in Israel next week :stuck_out_tongue: I am going to knock on your door and be like “where is my money for ticket 5918213?”

Nothing at all. Just wanted to share something interesting. it already has 740k followers. this is insane.

LOOL
For what reason? a vacation?

The campaign is probably backed by someone crafty and a good budget.

To kick yo…

But for real, my wife has some time off from work, so today we’re flying out to England for a few days and next week there is a good tip @ our travel agency (it includes Israel/Jordan/Egypt) that my wife wanted to buy. I don’t want to go as it’s a sightseeing trip and I don’t feel like sitting on a bus for 9 days, so I am trying to fight this. If I don’t find an alternative that pleases my better half I will be in your country all pissed off trying to work from a bus.

Wouldn’t it be funny if a war starts when you arrive?

6

What?

7

Wouldn’t it be funny if Hamas (Gaza) starts firing rockets at us as soon as you arrive? but don’t worry, It’s only on the south of Israel ( if it happens )

Anyway, all jokes aside ( bc it won’t happen ) - HAVE FUN! Israel, Jordan, and Egypt are super interesting. I wish I could visit those places, but it’s too risky for Israelis & pretty sure I’m not allowed to as someone with an Israeli passport.

That’s where the trip starts -_-

Oh well, Meg will take care of SwapD.

10

Sorry no, it start south of Jordan. I made a mistake.

11

Don’t worry, even if it happens ( again, it won’t, we have a cease fire ) we have Iron Dome so you’re good.

Trust me, You’ll have a great time at the 3rd most innovative country in the world. :smiley: no jokes, one of the safest countries in the world.

12

As a person who watches the news all the time I would put that to a debate. If Israel is one of the safest countries, then Poland must be pure heaven :smiley:

13

Also

“one of the safest countries”

and

“just don’t go south”

:smiley:

14

I was joking, it safe everywhere within Israel.

And yes, it is one of the safest countries in the world, I don’t know what the news are feeding you with, but it is.

Here is Frank Grillo on Jimmy Kimmel after he visited Israel, saying he felt more safe there than in Hollywood.

Anyway, It’s known that it’s very safe here.

“More safe than Hollywood”
I have bad news for you, the gun toting nation of America isn’t as safe as you would imagine. Especially in the urban areas.

Source: Lived there all my life. I never been to Israel, I am just saying that your country isn’t currently at peace time, that automatically removes the word “safe” off the table, in my humble opinon.

They are dumb, I want to know how they calculate it.

Egypt? Venezuela? Iran? Jordan?

They take over 20 metrics to calculate this.
