Thank you everyone for viewing JAI and spreading the word about this fantastic film. Our congratulations go to filmmaker Ariel Zylbersztejn for his outstanding work.
what a wonderful piece ... turning something so horrible into a positive and strong message. however, one needn't tattoo anything to remember and work towards the betterment of people everywhere.
Excellent. What a script! May we all never forget and always remind others. Although I'm not Jewish, I would like to "adopt" a survivor and her number which I can draw onto my arm... reminder to pray for her/survivors, as well share her story when the opportunity presents itself.
chinchilla, a famous mendocino county tattoo artist found the number of a young girl who did not survive and had her number tattooed on her arm, which is covered with flowers and otjhers peaceful images. she is Jewish and its her contribution to remembering.
Hermoso ejemplo de perdon el de la bobe, transformo el horror Nazi en un numero 18 que en hebreo es Vida, sin embargo no esta demas que las nuevas generaciones jamas olviden el holocausto,porque en un futuro no lejano puede volver a repetirse aunque esta vez con todos aquellos que no se dejen marcar con el 666 sean judios o no y los que si se dejen sus almas seran del diablo, y los que no si aceptan a Yeshua por Fe tienen una Marca de Elohim Dios y sus almas viviran con El para siempre. Shos
in order to survive, we can change the way we pass on information but we can never change the way we recieve it. may the world never forget and may the world never repeat.
Un vídeo maravilloso. No soy judía, ni eso importa en absoluto, el holocausto jamás deberá olvidarse y así se lo debemos transmitir a nuestros hijos, ¡es nuestra obligación!
My parents went through the holocaust and and I found it very hard to tell my children and this is such a gentle way to pass it on about events worse than anyone can imagine today.What you hear in the movies is nothing like the real stories coming from the one that went through it.
Chibwantu 101, making the comment "It is no wonder they are God's chosen people" continues to promote hatred, arrogance, ignorance and separation; precisely the root of the abominable Holocust. We should not forget and live among each other as people of acceptance and peace.
@civelisse75 Being God's chosen people doesn't give Jews any advantages. It gives us great responsibility. If this status was an advantage, we would not have sustained all the hatred we have since ancient times. If you'd rather be "chosen" by God, please take that burden away from us.
Before the Shoah there was no Jewish community that was as assimilated and who considered themselves as much an integral part of a community as the Jews of Germany. Reform Judaism - which eschews "choseness" began in pre-WWII Germany. That did not stop Hitler and the Nazis with the German people in tow from murdering 6 million Jews and many millions of other "undesireables." Those horrific events had nothing whatsoever to do with Jews being designated as G-d's Chosen People.
wonderful work. well done. as we lose the last generation of people who were actually there it is up to us to remember or face the risks of forgeting.
I am touched. The strength of charactor to turn symbols of bondage and inhumanity into an elightening bed time story and an affermation of god and faith is done simply and so very poetic. While the moral is spun on events in the "Jews' past, it has a universal specif beauty, innocence and humility LAC-maimi
it is amazing the strength and resilience of the Jewish people..It is no wonder they are God's chosen people, they will never be defeated because of what is on the inside of them, tenacity even in the face of evil.
Bravo for this magnificent court mètrage very moving. It is effectively these children who can pass on the testimony of the Nazi horror. While today more and more voice dispute this reality
It is the reclamation of dignity. It is the transformation of something very ugly into something very beautiful. It is one of the most liberating things a person can do for himself or herself.
im jewish and i am obviously for holocaust rememberance but i didnt like this movie. how does a girl that old not know about it and why would people lie isnt the whole point to know and remember so why are bubbi and zaide lying to her? just didnt like it.
Because it is a painful memory. I, at the age of these children didnt know that was the Holocaust. Dont you see? She did what many should do, "Shout to not forget." But others sometimes choose to forget because the memories make us suffer everyday, I understand that feeling. It's concerned that the other does not suffer with the memory of violence and sadness. It is a delicate subject, I think is excellent, beautifully sad, but excellent. I hope you understand me, I'm not very good with English.
This is a work of artistic expression. It is meant to move you and to reveal to you that memories are fragile. The story is allegorical or metaphorical and has nothing to do with the actions of the characters, but the meaning of those actions. Your commentary is remarkably shallow
My husband's uncle never spoke of it. The family just spoke of "the camps". People who were there didnt' want to wallow in the memory. They wanted to put it behind them. I can see very much bubbi and Zaide not wanting to talk about it.
Increible que en solo 9 minutos este cortometraje pudo transmitir un mensaje tan fuerte y desgraciadamente tan real. Gracias por compartir, por recordar y por NUNCA OLVIDAR!
This film is heart touching and shows we NEED to stop thinking in terms of race and more on we are all one family. That number is a punch card number from IBM. By seeing our self's as one family we would drastically reduce hate; violence; division; and fear. thank you for this video.
All life is sacred and precious and thank you for the video and best wish's to you. We all need to forget about race as it is unimportant on the whole and creates only division;hate and fear. We are all the family of man.
Five of my uncles fought against the Nazis during WWII and one of them, Clifford McCarthy, helped to liberate a concentration camp in Poland. For the rest of his life, whenever someone would try to deny what the Nazis had done to the Jews, he would step up close to them and dare them to repeat what they had said. He was not Jewish. He was a red-headed Irish-American who fought for what he thought was right with courage in his fists and visions of unspeakable atrocities burned into his mind.
Great social commentary on the sad and pathetic way we Jews forget our past and hurt our younger generations by not teaching them about the Holocaust.
This for me so emotionally strong and right to the point. The question is does it affect me because of my Jewish roots and personal Holocaust history. Or is it moving everyone?
A touching film. Unfortunately, nobody really remembers.
And most of the few who do remember refuse to see what's happening to us in Israel is only a continuation of what happened back then.
The recent "freeze" on building is actually a demand to stop having Jewish babies. We're not allowed even natural growth
The US, UN, EU, Islamic demand that Jews be removed from their homes in Judea & Samaria so an Islamic state can be formed. This is nothing less than a Judenrein operation.
Directo al corazon !!! por la autenticidad del relato y por la exquisita sensibilidad con la que conectan ambas generaciones a traves de un lazo de amor. Logra transmitir en pocos minutos la importancia del legado de la herencia cultural y la pertenencia al pueblo judio. Pueblo que fuera perseguido injustamente a lo largo de todos los siglos variando solo el escenario de los hechos.
Powerful but disjointed. If that young boy knew about the Nazis and tattoos, how is it the girl didn't? Obviously, from her blank look, she never heard of Nazis or the significance of the tattoos. A response to her brother should have been "Nazis?" "What''s a Nazi?" And "Why a tattoo?"
The boy was probably a year or two older than his sister. There's a big difference between 1st grade and 3rd grade. I went to a yeshiva day school and I don't recall it being mentioned by teachers until 3rd grade (this was in the 1970s, a mere 30 years after the Shoah). My mother never discussed it with me when I was a small child, even though she lost her grandmother and other family members in the Shoah.
I wish a video of Chana Senez, Avigdor Kahalani, Yonatan Netanyahu, Shimon Bar Kochva, Rabbi Akiva, Eli Cohan, or any other Jewish hero or heroic time in Jewish history would be made.
Touching...really, but damn, I wish we as Jews would make videos about something in our 3000 years of Jewish history besides the Holocaust! Of corse we cannot forget the 6 million, but is that all we the Jews want to be remembered by? We teach the Holocaust to move on with Jewish history and to stay strong, not to stay stuck in history as victims.
This is beautiful, but missing the fact that perhaps Bobe focused on the number 18 porque si se salvo. The numbers were intended for death- dehumanization- but those that survived could view them as life. I speak and teach Spanish and may use this in my classroom.
Beautiful and Very Moving. Reminds us that the nazis recorded and marked EVERYTHING including their prisoners. Just in time as some Arabs in Europe insist on denying the Holocaust
very good, and so strange- Just last week I was wondering if anyone had ever checked the gymatria of the survivors numbers and found any common denomimator! in continuation of that thought I wondered if there were any tatto artists who have turned a personal survivors number into a tattoo on a family members "modern" tattoo.
Yes - I read a newspaper article in Israel which was an interview with a son/grandson (I don't remember which) of a survivor who tattooed his father/grandfather's tattooed number on his own arm. The man said that his father/grandfather is old and will die so he tattooed the number to remember what should be remembered.
along with Rwanda, Cambodia, Romania, Srebrenitza, Mao's China, Tibet, Stalin's Russia, the Japanese in China, Uganda, East Timor, Vietnam, Iraq, The British in India, The Native Americans, and the Aboriginals. I will remember them as we all should. Because if we don't, it will happen over and over again and we will have learnt nothing.
A poignant and beautifully executed film. Very moving.
What a shame to see that there are still people like you. You don't get it! You don't want to get it! Just tell me in which of your examples a democratically elected government issued laws to exterminate a whole entire people just because of their religion? In Romania? In Vietnam? In Iraq? By you throwing the Holocaust in the long list of wars and unjust killings you are watering down the uniqueness of this genocide. The Holocaust was and will be unique forever in the history of mankind.
All genocides are equally atrocities against mankind. Do not dismiss these other campaigns of mass-murder in the same way that you don't want people to dismiss the horror of the Holocaust.
Race was also a factor and some of the above examples are real genocides. Interesting how the contributor forgot the Armenians. Rwanda is a great example of the world not properly learning from the Shoah. Anyway, while I may not agree with the letter of Mr. Mattman1956's statement, I do appreciate the spirit of his message as I think I understand it: That he feels for us AND others, and will continue to fight injustice so that genocide is prevented in the future.
how about if the holocaust museum sells the numbers of those that perished, for the right to tattoo on their arms as a rememberence and donate the money to survivors
I would hate to see it end up becoming some kind of nihilistic teenage fashion statement, which is what would ultimately happen. Please note that the Jewish religion does not permit tattoos, although some modern Jews do get them.
I'd like to transmit you my sincere greetings for this video. It is motive and very well made. I join the Jewish people in their paryers and in their strong determination of showing new generations the horrour and indignity to which humans reached, so it will NEVER happen again, so we will always remember.
Jews have already ahd a victory as vergeofsomething said, because you survived and because you succed ...and because you don't hate. You have given all us a good lesson!
Mis más sinceras felicitaciones, un video maravillosamente bien realizado, emotivo como recuerdo pocos y que nos lanza un mensaje que es un imperativo moral: NO olvidar, para que jamás el mundo sea testigo de un horror y una indignidad semejantes. Me uno a vuestras plegarias y a vuestro decidido afan de recordar y transmitir a nuestros hijos una lección de humanidad, perdón y superación humana: la del pueblo Judío.
I honor the lost members of my families by living as a proud and joyful Jew. I hope that I will have children someday soon, and when I do, that will be our victory.
"No mentir" reza la ley de Moises, ley compartida por judios y cristianos, los abuelos no cumplieron la ley, en cambio la niña, al enterarse la verdad decidió "honrar padre y madre", también ley de Moises y judeo cristana (tácitamente los perdonó), el niño, aunque nada de tonto, se muestra (tambien tácitamente) enfadado con sus abuelos, espero que que haya aprendido como la niña a perdonar. Para que la historia no se repita, debemos hablar siempre con la verdad.
Querido Ariel, felicitaciones. Muy pero muy bueno el video y como entusiasta del cine te digo q del guion a los planes esta impecable, el corto. Como le escribe a Leon, fue un mescla de emociones, me dio ganas de llorar, de reir e por encima de todo me senti muy orgulloso de saber q fuiste tu el realizador de la obra. Besos, felicidades y en Jerusalem por los proximos 10000 anos! Alvaro Maurino y familia.
We need to pass it along...I'm not yet old enough to have children but when I do I will tell them about it. These people need to be remembered, so that when they are gone, the rememberance of the Holocaust does not go with them. It is part of our heritage, and it shows we will not be squashed, ever.
Hay mucha ternura en este vídeo, pero quisiera creer que un día esos niños sabrán la verdad sin máscaras dulces y repudiarán lo que vivieron sus ancestros con plena conciencia activa, que como adultos lucharán con todos sus recursos para que NUNCA, NUNCA vuelva a cometerse una atrocidad tan indignante, tan aterradora como la vivida por el pueblo judío.
felitor: until the world no longer tolerates horrors of the type that the Nazis perpetrated against not only Jews but other minorities (and the list of other similar massacres is very long) we all should tattoo numbers on our arms! No one should EVER forget these atrocities. I certainly will never forget the assassination of my mother by the Spanish fascists.
BASSSSTANTE MAMONCITO EL VIDEITO, ponen a la niña como toda una ignorante, lo bueno que tiene un hermano que estudia, otro teatro mas de que los mayores creen que engañar a los niños es lo mejor en lugar de hablar con la verdad, por eso en pleno siglo XXI siguen existiendo tonetrias como santaclos, los reyes magos y mamadas de esas.
I was moved by this very important short film, and by your comments, PetSplash and dunnva. With sensitivity, I say to you, solanit, that to have such an immediate and permanent, visual reminder is rare with traumas of such inconceivable magnitude. The abhorrence would need to be directly experienced to be truly understood. Thank you, seadove, for leading me here.
Felicitaciones a los productores, es un gran mensaje que no se debe olvidar, tanto por el mundo no judio y especialmente por los judíos que muchas veces actúan imitando a quienes fueron sus agresores..
A very nice film. I wonder how and when the grandparents would tell the children what actually happened? So many of the survivor generation chose not to talk to their children and grandchildren. So many tried to protect us, or were too embarrassed for having been victims and for what they had to do to survive and didn't talk. We need their honest and explicit memories so that we can remember when they are gone. Es lindo con sub-titulos tanto como en Espanol. Gracias.
Great! One more way of looking at the full half of the glass rather than the empty half.. Moreover, it's another way to evoke our and especially the world's memory. Coming at a time when some people claim there was no holocaust, it does a wonderful job serving as a most poignant reminder. As we say in Hebrew " Kol Hacavod" to Ariel Zylbersztejn.
me encanto y me hizo erizar pues soy nieta del holocausto polaco tengo 71 primaveras....y este mensaje debe llegar a la humanidad...adonai kadosh tsebaot amen maravillosa enseñanza no olvidar!!que sabiduria.......
Con lo que pasa hoy, no creis que es necesaria mantener abierta esta herida ? No piensas que seria bueno para los niños saber lo que pasó desde hace 60 años para que se puede comprender los valores que tienen que defender ? Olvidar eso seria un peligro mayor para la humanidad. El unico medio para sanarla es la educación de la gente para que no se reproduce tal tragedia. En poco años desaparecerán los ultimos supervivientes y pues es muy importante mantener viva la memoria y repectarla.
Thank you everyone for viewing JAI and spreading the word about this fantastic film. Our congratulations go to filmmaker Ariel Zylbersztejn for his outstanding work.

I wish a video of Chana Senez, Avigdor Kahalani, Yonatan Netanyahu, Shimon Bar Kochva, Rabbi Akiva, Eli Cohan, or any other Jewish hero or heroic time in Jewish history would be made.

Touching...really, but damn, I wish we as Jews would make videos about something in our 3000 years of Jewish history besides the Holocaust! Of corse we cannot forget the 6 million, but is that all we the Jews want to be remembered by? We teach the Holocaust to move on with Jewish history and to stay strong, not to stay stuck in history as victims.

This is beautiful, but missing the fact that perhaps Bobe focused on the number 18 porque si se salvo. The numbers were intended for death- dehumanization- but those that survived could view them as life. I speak and teach Spanish and may use this in my classroom.

very good, and so strange- Just last week I was wondering if anyone had ever checked the gymatria of the survivors numbers and found any common denomimator! in continuation of that thought I wondered if there were any tatto artists who have turned a personal survivors number into a tattoo on a family members "modern" tattoo.
RebeccaJaneF 2 years ago 11
Yes - I read a newspaper article in Israel which was an interview with a son/grandson (I don't remember which) of a survivor who tattooed his father/grandfather's tattooed number on his own arm. The man said that his father/grandfather is old and will die so he tattooed the number to remember what should be remembered.

Who will remember? I will...
along with Rwanda, Cambodia, Romania, Srebrenitza, Mao's China, Tibet, Stalin's Russia, the Japanese in China, Uganda, East Timor, Vietnam, Iraq, The British in India, The Native Americans, and the Aboriginals. I will remember them as we all should. Because if we don't, it will happen over and over again and we will have learnt nothing.
A poignant and beautifully executed film. Very moving.

What a shame to see that there are still people like you. You don't get it! You don't want to get it! Just tell me in which of your examples a democratically elected government issued laws to exterminate a whole entire people just because of their religion? In Romania? In Vietnam? In Iraq? By you throwing the Holocaust in the long list of wars and unjust killings you are watering down the uniqueness of this genocide. The Holocaust was and will be unique forever in the history of mankind.
Purrete 2 years ago
All genocides are equally atrocities against mankind. Do not dismiss these other campaigns of mass-murder in the same way that you don't want people to dismiss the horror of the Holocaust.
jjk717 2 years ago
Race was also a factor and some of the above examples are real genocides. Interesting how the contributor forgot the Armenians. Rwanda is a great example of the world not properly learning from the Shoah. Anyway, while I may not agree with the letter of Mr. Mattman1956's statement, I do appreciate the spirit of his message as I think I understand it: That he feels for us AND others, and will continue to fight injustice so that genocide is prevented in the future.

roeena 2 years ago
I would hate to see it end up becoming some kind of nihilistic teenage fashion statement, which is what would ultimately happen. Please note that the Jewish religion does not permit tattoos, although some modern Jews do get them.

I'd like to transmit you my sincere greetings for this video. It is motive and very well made. I join the Jewish people in their paryers and in their strong determination of showing new generations the horrour and indignity to which humans reached, so it will NEVER happen again, so we will always remember.
Jews have already ahd a victory as vergeofsomething said, because you survived and because you succed ...and because you don't hate. You have given all us a good lesson!

Mis más sinceras felicitaciones, un video maravillosamente bien realizado, emotivo como recuerdo pocos y que nos lanza un mensaje que es un imperativo moral: NO olvidar, para que jamás el mundo sea testigo de un horror y una indignidad semejantes. Me uno a vuestras plegarias y a vuestro decidido afan de recordar y transmitir a nuestros hijos una lección de humanidad, perdón y superación humana: la del pueblo Judío.

"No mentir" reza la ley de Moises, ley compartida por judios y cristianos, los abuelos no cumplieron la ley, en cambio la niña, al enterarse la verdad decidió "honrar padre y madre", también ley de Moises y judeo cristana (tácitamente los perdonó), el niño, aunque nada de tonto, se muestra (tambien tácitamente) enfadado con sus abuelos, espero que que haya aprendido como la niña a perdonar. Para que la historia no se repita, debemos hablar siempre con la verdad.

Querido Ariel, felicitaciones. Muy pero muy bueno el video y como entusiasta del cine te digo q del guion a los planes esta impecable, el corto. Como le escribe a Leon, fue un mescla de emociones, me dio ganas de llorar, de reir e por encima de todo me senti muy orgulloso de saber q fuiste tu el realizador de la obra. Besos, felicidades y en Jerusalem por los proximos 10000 anos! Alvaro Maurino y familia.

We need to pass it along...I'm not yet old enough to have children but when I do I will tell them about it. These people need to be remembered, so that when they are gone, the rememberance of the Holocaust does not go with them. It is part of our heritage, and it shows we will not be squashed, ever.

Hay mucha ternura en este vídeo, pero quisiera creer que un día esos niños sabrán la verdad sin máscaras dulces y repudiarán lo que vivieron sus ancestros con plena conciencia activa, que como adultos lucharán con todos sus recursos para que NUNCA, NUNCA vuelva a cometerse una atrocidad tan indignante, tan aterradora como la vivida por el pueblo judío.

felitor: until the world no longer tolerates horrors of the type that the Nazis perpetrated against not only Jews but other minorities (and the list of other similar massacres is very long) we all should tattoo numbers on our arms! No one should EVER forget these atrocities. I certainly will never forget the assassination of my mother by the Spanish fascists.

I thinkl it would be a good idea to attoe all the numbers we know of on our own arms in memoriey of those who did not survive

BASSSSTANTE MAMONCITO EL VIDEITO, ponen a la niña como toda una ignorante, lo bueno que tiene un hermano que estudia, otro teatro mas de que los mayores creen que engañar a los niños es lo mejor en lugar de hablar con la verdad, por eso en pleno siglo XXI siguen existiendo tonetrias como santaclos, los reyes magos y mamadas de esas.

I was moved by this very important short film, and by your comments, PetSplash and dunnva. With sensitivity, I say to you, solanit, that to have such an immediate and permanent, visual reminder is rare with traumas of such inconceivable magnitude. The abhorrence would need to be directly experienced to be truly understood. Thank you, seadove, for leading me here.

A very nice film. I wonder how and when the grandparents would tell the children what actually happened? So many of the survivor generation chose not to talk to their children and grandchildren. So many tried to protect us, or were too embarrassed for having been victims and for what they had to do to survive and didn't talk. We need their honest and explicit memories so that we can remember when they are gone. Es lindo con sub-titulos tanto como en Espanol. Gracias.

Y muy dulces el Zeide y la Bobe.
No coincido con los que dicen que recordar es sembrar odio, o no dejar cicatrizar la herida.
La cultura judia enseña a recordar, a no olvidar , pero si perdona.
Y recordar la historia es lo unico que permite no repetir los errores.

Un bellisimo cortometraje. Y lleno de amor como se ve en las explicaciones que inventan la Bobe y el Zeide.
Y recordar es muy bueno.

Great! One more way of looking at the full half of the glass rather than the empty half.. Moreover, it's another way to evoke our and especially the world's memory. Coming at a time when some people claim there was no holocaust, it does a wonderful job serving as a most poignant reminder. As we say in Hebrew " Kol Hacavod" to Ariel Zylbersztejn.

Corrección a mi anterior comentario. Los Abuelos enseñan como sanar una herida, pero los realizadores del film, enseñan como mantenerla abierta.
felitorr 2 years ago
Con lo que pasa hoy, no creis que es necesaria mantener abierta esta herida ? No piensas que seria bueno para los niños saber lo que pasó desde hace 60 años para que se puede comprender los valores que tienen que defender ? Olvidar eso seria un peligro mayor para la humanidad. El unico medio para sanarla es la educación de la gente para que no se reproduce tal tragedia. En poco años desaparecerán los ultimos supervivientes y pues es muy importante mantener viva la memoria y repectarla.
