Synopsis:
#uploading_holocaust is the first documentary based entirely on existing YouTube materials.
Every year, a quarter of all Israeli high school students embark on a school trip to Poland to
commemorate the Holocaust. This trip is known in Israel as "The Journey to Poland". Since it
began in the late 1980's, the traditional journey includes 100 teenagers, 4 concentration camps, 3
mass graves, 2 ghettos and 14 memorial services within 8 days, but the fact that many of the
students upload videos of their journey to YouTube, is a newer phenomenon.
