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.
