Shownotes

Antisemitism and Holocaust misinformation and denial are spreading rapidly across social media. As TikTok captures the vast majority of eyeballs amongst Gen Z audiences in the U.S. and globally, a creator with a built-in distribution platform with millions of followers - hopes to raise awareness on the issue and ensure young people understand the truth about what really happened during the Holocaust. TikTok influencer Montana Tucker is taking her 11.4 million followers on a journey by retracing her grandparents’ experience during the Holocaust in a series titled “How To: Never Forget,” which consists of ten 2–3-minute episodes. Through this exploration of her own roots, Montana is sharing her experience with her generation — Gen Z, and she joins MetroFocus along with Rachel Kastner, the producer of the series, to discuss their project. This conversation is a part of our Exploring Hate initiative.
