Names, Not Numbers – Holocaust Remembrance Project

During the Fall and Winter of 2019-2020, a group of 20 Commonpoint Queens teenagers participated in a life-changing experience called “Names, Not Numbers.”

“Names, Not Numbers” is a copyrighted Holocaust oral history film documentary project created by educator, Tova Fish-Rosenberg. This project transforms traditional history lessons into a lively, interactive, nontraditional program that involves individuals who have actually lived through the history being taught.

Our students acquired documentary interviewing techniques, filmmaking skills, and interviewed and filmed the eyewitnesses to create this powerful documentary. Below is the final production of their film, which was shared with the greater community last month.
