The 15th Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day Ceremony took place on April 27, 2020 and was the most different and unique to date. The COVID-19 crisis dictated a new reality and forced us to change the ceremony, to shift from the open air park to the closed studio. 200,000 people watched the ceremony from all over the world, including thousands of viewers from Gaza and tens of thousands from the West Bank. It is because we were forced to maintain a distance that we sought to get close. Therefore, right after the ceremony, the viewers were invited to meet Israeli and Palestinian bereaved families in their homes for a talk about the loved ones they lost, the journey they experienced and their choice to believe and strive for reconciliation.
The conversations all took place on Zoom and viewers could join either in Hebrew, Arabic or English.
