Our Mission

The Sh’ma Project: Move Against Hate harnesses the power of the arts to engage communities, build understanding, and teach young adults about the Holocaust and Human Rights. 

 

Sh’ma (sh'mah) means "listen" in Hebrew; it comes from the central prayer of the Jewish liturgy.

"Sh'ma is a very rare telling of a narrative. The creativity of dance, film, and the

Holocaust intrigues me. It breaks out of the conventional elements."
