FSWC Stands in Solidarity with Australia's Jewish Community
Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center stands in solidarity with Australia’s Jewish community following the horrific massacre that took place in Sydney. Our hearts are shattered by the slaughter of 15 people and the wounding of dozens more at a Chanukah celebration at the city’s iconic Bondi Beach. Some 2,000 Jewish community members had gathered to light the first candle of Chanukah when two gunmen opened fire at the crowd, which included children and the elderly.

FSWC in Motion
The Legacy Portrait Project was born out of an idea to commemorate Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) by photographing survivors together with their grandchildren. These portraits capture a moment in time, a glimpse into the individual triumph of each survivor, having prevailed over evil by building families, finding love and joy after the Holocaust. Poignantly it will be this next generation’s responsibility to share their grandparents' legacy, to be the ones left to tell the stories, keeping their grandparents' memories alive.
Along with the portraits of The Legacy Portrait Project, we filmed each survivor with their grandchildren, which ultimately turned into a 20-minute short film.
