Israeli embassies mark three years since October 7; embassy in Paris honors the Bibas family

Israeli embassies and consulates are marking three years since the October 7 massacre with ceremonies, exhibitions and screenings around the world, according to a statement.

In Paris, a pathway named for Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas was inaugurated this week in Parc Monceau. The Mayor of Paris, a family representative and the Israeli Ambassador attended, and the Embassy in France led the initiative.

But it is not just Paris. In New York, the consulate will screen the "Atrocities Film" for journalists, influencers and elected officials. In Berlin, an installation of one thousand chairs in memory of the victims will be displayed today, and the Brandenburg Gate will be lit with the Israeli flag.

Missions are connecting survivors and bereaved families with foreign audiences. Guy Gilboa-Dalal is visiting Japan, a country he had dreamed of seeing before his abduction from the Nova festival.

In Mexico, Ilana Gritzewsky is recounting her abduction from Nir Oz and her time in Hamas captivity. Lotan Pinian, who survived the Be'eri massacre with his family, is taking part in the embassy's main ceremony in Spain. In Germany, Ayelet Samerano, mother of the late Yonatan Samerano, will speak, while in Russia bereaved families are joining Jewish youth for a ceremony.

Events are also reaching centers of government and culture. In Washington, the embassy held an official ceremony featuring Gilad Segev's "Heroes," which blends songs with stories of heroism. A photography exhibition from the southern kibbutzim is opening at the Bundestag.

Italy is hosting events at the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, a ceremony at Rome's Great Synagogue, and the launch of the Italian translation of Ambassador Yechiel Leiter's book on antisemitism.

The Kan 11 documentary "The Death Shelter" is being screened in India, and Spain is hosting a comic book exhibition on heroism. London will feature Ziv Koren's photographs of the events, and Beijing will screen "We Will Dance Again."

In the Philippines, study centers donated by the embassy and named Be'eri, Nir Oz and Ofakim are now operating. In Nepal, plans were approved for a memorial to the eleven Nepali students murdered in the massacre during a study program in Israel. The embassy is working to advance construction at their university.
