Breaking the Silence Exhibit: The Combatant’s Story

Breaking the Silence launches this video blog to enable communities far and wide to participate in the conversation around the photography exhibit. Here we will post video reactions from visitors and enable you to witness the importance of this conversation.

As can only be presented by Israeli soldiers themselves in their own pictures, words, and stories, this exhibit gives everyone who visits or participates through this blog an unprecedented view of daily life as an Israeli soldier in the Palestinian Territories. Of course, the photos in the exhibit promise to raise important questions for American audiences — controversial to be sure, but important nonetheless — about the reality of the occupation. But in the same way that we have been engaged with our own society in Israel on these questions since launching our first exhibit in 2004, we look forward to the discussion with American society, as well.

Attend our opening event this Saturday at 7 pm at the gallery, visit the exhibit during our open hours, attend one of our many presentations around Philly or soon in DC, or schedule a visit for your synagogue, community group, or classroom.
