About the organization
The NGO was established at the initiative of Yaniv Hagyi from Kibbutz Be’eri, together with residents of the western Negev, who witnessed firsthand the magnitude of the event and the danger that its memory would fade.
Our mission is to document and present the events of October 7 through the collection of digital testimonies from residents of the western Negev.
The testimonies will focus on the critical hours of that day and authentically portray the community’s experience, the memory of the victims, and the stories of bravery, resourcefulness, and mutual responsibility.
Since our establishment, we have succeeded
• Collecting over a million messages,
photos and videos sent in real time
• Building partnerships with the National Library and other institutions in Israel and around the world
• Establishing a digital infrastructure for preservation, research, and commemoration
