The Arts & Community Task Force Presents:
Special 2016 Holocaust Day Project:
Rebellion of Hope Available for Your Community:
Jan. 21 - Feb. 1, 2016 (International Holocaust Day is January 27)
“If there were a school for the study of the human spirit, the Uprising would be its main course.” - Antek Zuckerman
The Holocaust is, as Roy Eckardt said, a “uniquely unique” event that continues to shape the reality and consciousness of people in Israel and around the world. Rebellion of Hope is an interactive exhibit devoted to bringing a values-based educational discussion about a world which can allow for such an event to take place. The exhibit aims to weave stories and questions into a constructive narrative of the Holocaust, while strengthening the memory of the Holocaust and its lessons in a way that challenges participants to examine their own thoughts and actions. Through the exhibit participants will encounter a wide variety of choices made by those individuals and organizations that made the brave choice to resist in the face of the many moral dilemmas brought about by these extreme conditions. Through these choices we will explore how the concept of resistance applies to our lives today. The exhibit can be accompanied by a variety of workshops, educational activities and events. The exhibition was created by the Dror Israel movement and is guided by its experienced educators all over Israel. It has been translated and adapted to the needs of an English speaking audience. The Akko Educators’ Kibbutz is a unique model of a Kibbutz in the city. It is a community of 65 educators who develop and run a variety of innovative educational programs in Akko and the surrounding region, based on the values of democracy, peace, Tikkun Olam, and shared existence. One of the educators’ kibbutz projects is Rebellion of Hope and it is run annually in Akko.
