VOICES OF THE FORGOTTEN: HOLOCAUST EDUCATION GAMING FEATURES
Founded in 2021 by French creative Luc Bernard, “Voices of the Forgotten” is a nonprofit organization that uses video games to combat antisemitism, preserve Holocaust memory, and spotlight overlooked stories of Jewish history. In this installation, attendees can witness and interact with the vital work Bernard and his collaborators are doing in the gaming space and learn more about his upcoming projects.
FEATURING TWO EXPERIENCES
The Light in the Darkness: The Director’s Cut
The Light in the Darkness is a captivating role-playing game that takes players on an emotional journey through the dark times of the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. In this game, players take on the role of a Polish Jewish family living in Paris, experiencing the hardships and challenges they face as they try to survive in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile towards them. This demo version of the newly expanded “Director’s Cut” of the original game includes upgraded visuals, audio, and voice acting.
Voices of the Forgotten: The Fortnite Holocaust Museum
Spend some time walking the halls of this one-of-a-kind virtual Holocaust museum created in Fortnite, the massively popular battle royale sandbox game played by over 650 million gamers worldwide. Designed to be a globally accessible resource for those who did not live in the vicinity of a physical museum, visitors can explore exhibitions detailing important events in Holocaust history and learn about the lives of important figures who fought against Nazi persecution.
This event is presented by Philadelphia Jewish Film and Media. Please contact info@phillyjfm.org with any questions.
