We went to the Nova exhibition today. On the one hand I am listening to the video testimony of ZAKA talking about decapitated heads in bags and women violated in unspeakable ways and on the other hand I see the complete indifference to any of this from much of the rest of the world. Indifference at best, or denial or at worst, saying that what happened was 'resistance'. Today this completely blew my mind - again.

The Nova exhibition was profoundly affecting in so many ways despite already having been immersed in nothing but this for nearly three years. There were many tearful people there. We also heard live testimony from Ariel, the brother of Anita Lisman who was killed with her boyfriend Segev Shushan, at Nova. 

May their memories be a blessing.Watching all of these atrocities again was heartbreaking and I'm glad that the organisers put it all together so incredibly well.

It was in fact the first room of the exhibition which I'll never also forget. It was a film of the Nova rave. People were dancing to trance having the time of their lives. They were my tribe, I've been going to these parties for maybe 25 years. The feeling of dancing to the beats, everyone loving everyone else, being as high as a kite and everything being just perfect. And then a sunrise where everything sparkles and looks beautiful and love and music is all around. There's no feeling like it and then I tried to imagine the horror and the terror descending, people not really understanding what's going on, being terrified whilst still trying to protect each other. I'd only ever seen those party clips on my laptop screen but being there, immersed in those scenes and knowing what was coming for those beautiful people was painful beyond words.

And the worst thing is that most of the people I've danced with for years have turned their backs on us and that's something I'll never forgive or ever forget.

Everyone needs to see and to understand what happened on 7th October and subsequently.  Israel needs to do whatever is needed to make sure that this never happens again, with or without the approval of the rest of the world.

I visited the Nova exhibition in London today. It is extraordinary. You see the burnt-out cars. You see the shoes and the phones and the trinkets of those who lost their lives. You hear the final messages they recorded for their loved ones. You feel the heat and the dust they must have felt. And you hear what they would have heard: real recordings of the cries of “Allahu Akbar” and the sound of gunfire as the army of Islamofascists descended on this festival of love. “The Angel of Death swooped in”, as it says at the entrance to the exhibition. We also had the privilege of hearing the testimony of survivor Anita Conforty. She described showing her exhausted husband a photo of their two children on her phone and saying: “See — we have to live.” Everyone who cares about truth has an obligation to visit this exhibition and bear witness to a pogrom that rivals any of those in the history books. Don’t let the liars, deniers and antisemites win — go and see what was done to Jews in the 21st century. Thank you to the wonderful @shelleyblond1 for showing me around ❤️🇬🇧🇮🇱

London Nova Festival exhibit's sign removed over fears of antisemitic crimes | The Jerusalem Post

London police sought to minimize any early exposure of the exhibition’s exact location, out of concern that attempts could be made to organi

The main sign of the Nova Music Festival Exhibition in London has been removed at the request of London police following concerns over the potential for antisemitism and terrorism. The festival organizers confirmed this to The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

For the first time on its international tour, the Nova Festival Exhibition will be showcased in the UK for six weeks from 20 May to 5 July. It has previously been shown in New York City, Los Angeles, Buenos Aires, Miami, Toronto, and Washington, D.C., where it collectively brought over half a million visitors.

The Nova Exhibition describes itself as an in-depth remembrance of the brutal massacre at The Nova Music Festival on October 7th, 2023. It intends to serve as both a memorial and a call to remembrance. It uses original staging, burnt-out vehicles, and personal items to recreate the scene. It also features first-hand witness phone footage from the day, bullet-riddled structures, porta-loos, and survivor testimonies.

The London exhibition’s main sign, installed in the area in recent days as part of preparations for the official opening this week, was removed at the request of London's Metropolitan police due to concerns about antisemitic incidents, public disorder, and protests ahead of the exhibition's opening.
