The exhibition will later be shown in museums around the world, in Jewish communities and in campuses across the US Humans of October 7 th 01

“Since the horrific attack of October 7 th , the incitement on the streets and on social media has fueled antisemitism and misconceptions about Israel and the Jewish people at large”, says photographer Erez Kaganovitz. “As an artist and a photojournalist, I feel it’s imperative to fight back against these misconceptions and the rising antisemitism by showing the human side of Israel. From my experience, highlighting the human side provides a reminder of what Israeli society is all about and what we are actually

fighting for. To do so, I’ve created the Humans of October 7 th project”. “The project is an ongoing photo exhibition that brings to light the human stories of the exceptional Israelis that stood up against terrorism. It reveals the Israeli spirit at its best and shows the incredible resilience of the Israeli people. The project will be shown across the world as a traveling exhibition throughout the year, in museums, US campuses, and Jewish communities, and opens May 10 th at the Embassy of Germany in Tel Aviv”.
