DOCUMENTARY UNIT: HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Both George and myself, emailed different organisations involved with Holocaust Survivors, most of the time we either didn't get a response or we were given a simple 'no'.
When I emailed the Holocaust education I didn't get a response and then when calling them I was kept on hold so we gave up with that section. 

George however, got in contact with a woman called Aviva Trup, who's one of the managers of the Holocaust Survivors Centre through The Jewish Care. Aviva took an interest in the project and offered us a chance to interview up to three Holocaust survivors which is much better than just one because we can get another 2 opinions. We spoke through what we were going to ask the Survivors, deciding to not only show them the selfies we've found on Social Media, but also to talk to them about whether or not our generation has become numb to the Holocaust and if they have ever seen anything disrespectful with the Holocaust. After sending Aviva the suggested questions George asked if we could film as early during the filming dates as possible. Since their opinion would be good to have to go through the documentary. The response he got back was this:


With the 26th April being the suggested date, we took that one since this meant we could get the Holocaust survivors opinion's and these are going to be the most important ones since these people are the only ones who have any right to say what can or can't be done at the Memorial and whether these selfies and photos are offensive or not.
