The National Library of Israel (NLI) is leading a global effort to collect materials that reflect the broad historical record of October 7th, the war, and its aftermath—including Jewish activism against antisemitism. Your photographs, videos, social media posts, and more are important and reflect global action and reaction during this moment in time.
