We Dared to Write: An Animated Holocaust Doc - Trailer
More Info
These diaries, written in secret and often at great risk, offer a raw and intimate look into the lives of young people grappling with unimaginable circumstances.
The Holocaust, Through the Eyes of Its Younger Witnesses
Most Holocaust films speak through historians. This one speaks through the voices of the young.
We Dared to Write is not another black-and-white documentary. It fuses vivid animation, survivor testimony, and scholarly insight to spotlight five Jewish teens whose diary pages outlived them. From ghettos to hiding places, these youth didn't just suffer history—they wrote it.
Each diarist's story is presented in its own animated short, using a distinct visual style that honors their unique voice, personality, and context. Together, their words ignite a powerful tapestry of memory, resistance, and unbreakable spirit.
In an Age of Denial, Their Words Bare the Undeniable Truth
These diaries are more than historical records—they are acts of defiance. In the face of persecution, censorship, and erasure, these teens wrote to bear witness. Their words confront denial with lived experience, and silence with soul.
Today, as antisemitism and historical distortion resurface, We Dared to Write offers a stirring call to remember, reflect, and reckon—with the collective past, and with ourselves in the present.

TYH Presents: Healing Melodies 3 (Acapella) Full Album
Healing Melodies 3 is a soulful collection of vocal tracks crafted for these days of longing, when the heart aches for redemption and the world feels the absence of Hashem's revealed presence. These melodies guide us inward, helping us strip away distractions and return to our deepest desire: to bring honor to Hashem, to welcome the Shechinah back to its place in Yerushalayim, and to make space for Hashem within our own hearts.
Each song is a quiet cry, a whisper of hope, a step toward rebuilding the home we have lost and the closeness we are ready to reclaim.
