Mission Statement
“A person who is forgotten dies twice, once when they pass away and once when they are forgotten.”
Herman Taube, Poet and Holocaust Survivor
The Ripple Project captures and shares the stories that connect us all. Founded on the power of storytelling and anchored by originally produced films,
Like a stone dropped into a pond, the Shoah created ripples. Radiating outward through the lives of individuals and communities, each ripple contains a story that impacts our lives. The Ripple Project sets out to document the lives of ordinary people living the ripple effect of extraordinary circumstances.
While putting a human face on familiar, yet unfathomable, statistics, this character-driven narrative documentary series highlights the multigenerational effect of genocide by giving audiences glimpses into the lives of survivors and their families living in communities much like our own in the United States, Europe and Israel. Each story conveys the responsibility of survivors and younger generations to pass on the lessons and experiences of the trauma. Although the films are very much connected as present-day acts of historical remembrance, they are at the root human tales of the inheritance of creativity and the drive to share and preserve one’s own legacy and family story.
