While Israel and Poland have reached agreement on the resumption of high school youth visits to the concentration camps and other places in Poland to learn about the Nazi Holocaust, there is one group of people who have opted to be left out: the Ultra Orthodox. A group of Haredi women have created a unique virtual reality film that can help educate these audiences and all about the Holocaust. It’s called “Triumph of the Spirit.” Filmed in Krakow, Auschwitz and Birkenau and guided by a renowned Holocaust scholar, the visual jourey uses pictures, music and eerie 360 degree film to reach the viewers. Miriam Cohen, one of three ultra-Orthodox women behind the endeavor believes it was miraculous that they were able to use the Corona pandemic as an opportunity to film at the death camp. She told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that the film is now available in English. (photo: courtesy) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
