Atidna is a dialogue and collective action group to increase mutual understanding and unity on campuses in the US between those invested in Israel-Palestine.

Stories That Live Fellowship*

As living memory of the Holocaust is coming to an end, we’re offering a unique fellowship spanning the breadth of generations, history & struggle. We connect college students with local Holocaust survivors – to create meaningful relationships, to learn from them, and to retell their stories through independent creative projects. With an eye for impact on the greater community, fellows create meaningful retelling projects in a variety of media to preserve the stories for the next generation. We encourage creativity and provide sensitivity training, funding, and coaching.
