By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow April 30 at 3:33 PM Decades later, Maja Krapina is still haunted by the death of her 9-month-old sister.
She was interviewed as part of the Sachor Jetzt project, a collaboration between several young German journalists who are seeking to teach the next generations about what happened during the Holocaust by bringing survivors’ stories to a platform native to young Germans. To reach broader audiences, they also republish some Snapchat stories on YouTube and promote the project on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
“The world that they are going into is becoming more and more unsettled in terms of anti-Semitism once again,” he said. Posted by Axel Springer Akademie on Monday, January 28, 2019 Sachor Jetzt — a combination of the Hebrew word “sachor,” meaning remember, and “jetzt,” a German word meaning “now” — began as a project for journalism students in 2016 at the Axel Springer Akademie in Berlin. Sebastian Gubernator, 26, a founding member of the team who now works at Die Welt, recalled that “our basic idea was to use Snapchat more or less the way teenagers use it.
A few snaps later, viewers get to sit down with a survivor, who explains what happened in 10-second videos. The truncated format, far from limiting for the survivor, makes each detail land like a punch to the gut.
