“Voices of October 7: The Hostage Testimony Project” is a narrative nonfiction testimony project preserving firsthand accounts from Israelis who survived kidnapping, assault, or captivity during the October 7th attacks. Through in-depth interviews shaped into vivid, emotionally resonant literary narratives, the project aims to safeguard these stories before time and trauma erode them. The work will serve the public by deepening historical understanding, fostering empathy, and ensuring that these lived experiences are never forgotten.
