Israeli teen drama 'Memory Forest' shortlisted for International Emmy Award - The Jewish Chronicle

An Israeli TV show about a group of teens visiting the sites of concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland has been nominated for an International Emmy Award.

The miniseries, entitled Memory Forest, or Kol Od B’levav for Hebrew viewers, is nominated for the kids live action category.

It follows a group of teenagers grappling with love and grief, as they tour the concentration camps of occupied Poland and learn about the bloody history of the Second World War.

The four-episode production confronts the memory of the Holocaust and its relationship to young Israelis as they try to make sense of their place in the world and what they owe to the past.
