The digital exhibition assembles voices, perspectives, biographies, images, actions, stories and gestures, created by Jewish artists, scholars, activists and organisations, residing in Kreuzberg, Friedrichshain and Neukölln, in response to the terror of October 7th on Israel and the devastating war in Gaza that ensued.  Among the participants are (in alphabetical order): Jeremy Borovitz; Guy David Briller; Marina Chernivsky; Fraenkelufer Synagogue; Marina Frenk; Hillel Deutschland; Noa Heyne; Hori Izhaki; Jewish Moving Pictures e.V; Olaf Kühnemann; Laba Berlin; Dekel Peretz; Ariel Reichman; Maja Sojref and The Jewish Museum.
