SURVIVORS OF OCTOBER 7 ATTACK LAUNCH 'SURVIVED TO TELL' US TOUR
In response to the alarming surge of antisemitism and a near 800% spike in US college campuses, six survivors of the October 7 massacre at the Nova festival launched the "Survived to Tell" tour.
The "Survived to Tell" tour will commence on March 26 and run until April 19. It will span seven states and reach a dozen campuses.
The six survivors set to speak will recount their experiences from the October 7 attack, which they personally survived to educate, hold deep conversations on the rise of antisemitism, and create empathy.
The ISRAEL-is non-profit and Seed The Dream Foundation organizes the tour. ISRAEL-is is a non-governmental organization based in Israel that teaches young adults and youth how to advocate for Israel abroad.
ISRAEL-is also trains small groups of released IDF soldiers to talk about Israel and their military services in international delegations.
