This January 27th marks the 68th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz – the only Nazi death camp in which prisoners were tattooed with numbers. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day honors the 6 million Jews, 2 million Gypsies, 15,000 homosexuals and millions of others annihilated in genocide by the Nazis in WWII.But this day is also a chance to think about the living. It’s been almost 70 years since the last tattoo replaced someone’s name in Auschwitz.
In the time since WWII, survivors have spread all over the world, their tattoos visible even when simply enjoying some ice cream in the park.
NUMBERED is a tribute to these survivors and the legacy of the number on their arms.Pls take a minute to explore the resilience of the human spirit & the evolution this Holocaust “trademark” – the numbered tattoo – through the years. It sure has changed…This January 27th NUMBERED will screen at:
