Remember, look, and show solidarity together
In a dignified event of the Jewish Community Mannheim, filmic remembrance connects with communal commemoration. The documentary Bibas: Murdered for Being Jewish focuses on the Bibas family and the consequences of the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The experience of faith arises here in the conscious engagement with history, loss, and the responsibility to confront anti-Semitism and terrorism decisively.
