Check out filmmaker Ofra Bloch's article for @P_I_Journal ↓
"My hope is that it (Afterward) will become a journey for others who hold prejudice and fear in their hearts, in seeing how one person, this filmmaker, was freed of their deadly grip." https://t.co/N8cr2eN4Gf
"The power of anti-Semitism, bigotry, prejudice + racism relies on using fear + ignorance in order to dehumanize the other...My documentary attempts to emphasize that 'active listening' to the 'other' is the most basic tool for fighting those ideas" https://t.co/nY72bNYvck
"For a first-time filmmaker, Bloch has a surprising command of the craft, communicating her information in a way that is both competent and entertaining."

The undeniable truth is that #Palestinians are part of the post #Holocaust story too. Their history and current situation cannot be separated from #Auschwitz any more than the #Jewish story can.
