Famed movie director, producer, and screenwriter Steven Spielberg, 77, has announced a new project the USC Shoah Foundation is undertaking: documenting the barbaric attack by Hamas terrorists against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The Shoah Foundation (Shoah means Holocaust in Hebrew) was established by Spielberg in 1994, one year after completing his Academy Award-winning Holocaust film Schindler’s List. In the Oct. 7 attack, Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 240 others — including infants, children, women, and the elderly. The attack involved numerous acts of rape, bodily mutilation, burning people alive, and beheadings, among other atrocities.
Quote: “Holocaust survivors are the most courageous and brave among us, and their accounts are a lasting testament to the resilience of the human spirit,” said Spielberg. “Both initiatives — recording interviews with survivors of the October 7 attacks and the ongoing collection of Holocaust testimony — seek to fulfill our promise to survivors: that their stories would be recorded and shared in the effort to preserve history and to work toward a world without antisemitism or hate of any kind. We must remain united and steadfast in these efforts.”
