    Abstract: The Instagram account eva.stories went online on May 1, 2019, during the official Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. It attracted millions of people to watch a digital adaptation of Eva Heyman's diary, written by a thirteen-year-old Jewish Hungarian girl who died in Auschwitz. The project was much debated, and critics claimed that an Instagram account of a girl murdered in the Holocaust is a downgraded way to commemorate the Holocaust. However, eva.stories, like other mediated techniques with which people commemorate Holocaust-related stories, is shaping contemporary Holocaust memory. As such, understanding eva.stories can help uncover new elements of Holocaust memory in the "Instagram era." In this short report, eva.stories is further contextualized using a few of Andrew Hoskins's core assumptions regarding the "memory of the multitude." This review reveals how new mediated practices of Holocaust remembrance change how we engage with and remember Holocaust-related narratives.

    Abstract: Memory and questions about its formation are subjects of considerable attention. Nevertheless, memory actors promoting narratives about the past are often sidelined and ignored, and studies exploring questions regarding the relationships between memory actors and available media and communication technologies are scarce despite the importance of such tools. This study attempts to fill this theoretical gap by analyzing a unique case study from Israel – the work of memory policy-actors on a governmental expert committee that made various recommendations for empowering the Mizrahi communities in Israel and to promote the Mizrahi right to memory.. Among other recommendations, most notable was the recommendation to produce a new documentary series, The Mizrahi Pillar of Fire, that would counter the Mizrahi narrative’s ongoing marginalization. This unique recommendation raises intriguing questions on how memory actors perceived different media’s roles in creating, portraying, and disseminating memory. By conducting in-depth interviews with committee members and a close analysis of the final committee report and related official documents, this study highlights how actors’ perceptions about media and memory shaped the recommendation to produce a new documentary series. Thus it contributes to scholars interested in understanding the relationship between memory actors, media, and how a society’s memory is constructed.
