Mazal Tazazo is a young Israeli mom who went to the Nova festival in southern Israel to relax and dance with her friends. When the sun rose early in the morning, and the sky filled with rockets, she didn't panic. She lives in Netivot, close to the Gaza border, where rockets are a sad part of everyday life.

When she and her friends drove away from the festival they found themselves in a war zone, rushing from one hiding place to another. Eventually, their hiding place was discovered, and Mazal's friends were murdered beside her, but she miraculously survived and lived to tell her story and fight for the truth, for justice, for accountability, and for restitution for all of the survivors. 

Join us on Tuesday, October 1st at 12 pm EST / 7 pm Israel Time for an interactive webinar. Don't miss this opportunity to hear Mazal's story of survival and recovery. Register now.

The Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) is an Israeli legal and research institute that holds Special Consultative Status at the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations (ECOSOC) for its contribution to the promotion and protection of human rights in our region. The JIJ is committed to improving the rights and quality of life of individuals in Israel and the Middle East. Established in 2004, JIJ operates both internationally and domestically. JIJ's International Law and Public Diplomacy Department stands at the forefront of Israel's struggle to maintain its standing in the international community. We use the legal and advocacy tools at our disposal in order to confront the most complex issues.

Along with this webinar and our October 7 Survivors Seeking Justice campaign, we are producing a feature documentary that will tell the story of the Nova Music Festival & Kibbutzim Massacres from October 7, 2023. Help us raise the remaining funds to make sure as many people as possible see these survivor's stories so that we can do as much as possible to make sure this doesn't happen again. The world needs to see this.
