As the third anniversary of the October 7 massacre approaches, Israeli embassies and missions worldwide are holding numerous commemoration events to share the stories of victims, survivors, and hostages with international audiences and decision-makers. In Paris, a path was inaugurated in Parc Monceau in memory of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, with the mayor of Paris, a representative of the Bibas family, and the Israeli ambassador in attendance. The Israeli Embassy in France spearheaded this initiative.
Across the globe, other events are taking place. In New York, the Israeli Consulate will screen the "Horror Film" documenting the massacre for journalists, influencers, and public officials. Berlin will feature an installation of a thousand chairs to remember the victims, and the Brandenburg Gate will be illuminated with the Israeli flag.
Israeli missions are also bringing massacre and hostage survivors, as well as bereaved families, for meetings internationally. A Nova massacre survivor recounted his experience to 750 attendees in New York. In Japan, hostage survivor Guy Gilboa-Dalal, who had dreamed of visiting the country before his abduction, is being hosted. Ilana Gritschevsky is sharing her story of abduction from Nir Oz and her time in Hamas captivity in Mexico. In Spain, Lootan Finian, who survived the Be'eri massacre with his family, is participating in the embassy's main ceremony. Ayelet Samrano, mother of the late Yonatan Samrano, will speak in Germany.
Commemorations are also reaching government and cultural centers. Washington hosted a formal ceremony with a performance by Gilad Segev. A photography exhibition from the southern kibbutzim will open in the Bundestag. Italy is holding events in its Senate and Chamber of Deputies, as well as a ceremony at the Great Synagogue of Rome.
