Virtual Cinema: Names, Not Numbers

In honor of Holocaust and Genocide Awareness Week, we are proud to present a special virtual screening of MJFF 2020 film Names, Not Numbers, an original production of the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach. 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.

Local schools taking part in this cinematic project included RASG Hebrew Academy on Miami Beach, Miami Beach Senior High School, Fisher-Feinberg K-8 Center on Miami Beach, South Miami Senior High School, and Miami Coral Park High School.
