Haaretz journalist, Lee Yaron, 10/7: 100 HUMAN STORIES

Acclaimed Haaretz reporter Lee Yaron joins Zibby to discuss 10/7: 100 Human Stories, a radically passionate work of investigative journalism of the October 7th attacks through the stories of its victims and the communities they called home. Lee talks about the survivors she interviewed, everyday people from a wide range of communities—from elderly Holocaust survivors and peace workers to Ukrainian refugees and Israeli Arabs. She also describes the weight of carrying these stories, the emotional toll of hearing such grief, and her overwhelming mission to reclaim narratives for those who have been silenced. Finally, she shares her views on Jewish resilience and her hope that young Israeli women will step into leadership positions to help shape a safer future.
