#uploading_holocaust, directed by Udi Nir and Sagi Bornstein, is a documentary-film composed of video clips and YouTube footage filmed by Israeli youth during their educational 'Journey to Poland’. It offers a unique point of view of a new generation, while revealing a moving and troubling image of the way collective memory is formed in the age of social media.

The movie was made free to stream between April 8-15. This video is of the roundtable event featuring the film's director as well as experts in Holocaust studies and of memory in the digital age, which was held on April 13th 2021.
