Films about the 77

"Stories of those we lost" documents and preserves bereaved families' stories about the victims' lives through film recording, and it is a permanent part of the 22 July Centre's exhibition. Eventually we want all families who wish to share the stories of their loved ones to be given the opportunity to do so.

When mediating the story of 22 July, it is very important to highlight the human consequences of terror.

In the 22 July Centre's room of remembrance and through the testimonies of those affected , we get to know names and faces of those who are no longer with us. But who were they, and what did they dream of? Bereaved families, but also students and visitors in the 22 July Centre, have expressed a wish to get to know those we lost, not just as victims of the terror, but as the living people they were before 22 of July.

In these films we want to emphasise the stories of those we lost - told by those who knew them the best.

Background

The 22 July Centre is a place for learning, and a place to commemorate. Through an exhibition, documentation and teaching, we want to emphasise the meaning of the terror attack in regards of human loss - thus how 22 July affected individuals.

Since 2017 the 22 July Centre has documented personal testimonies from survivors, bereaved and other personally affected who have shared their stories in teaching lessons and through sound and image.
