our impact
On October 9th 2023, just two days after a wave of upheaval swept through Israel, we launched an Instagram page under the name ‘survived.to.tell‘ which aimed to unearth the harrowing and powerful stories of survivors, ultimately amplifying their voices on a global stage.
Amassing a significant following, this platform has emerged as a beacon of truth and resilience. It transcends geographical boundaries, making a profound impact worldwide and connecting with individuals by offering testimonies in multiple languages.
